The Ontario Worker Co-op Federation (OWCF) helps in the development of new and existing worker co-ops. It also lobbies governments on behalf of established worker co-ops, and disburses information about the benefits and goals of co-operatively owned businesses. The OWCF was incorporated September 22, 1992 as a co-op without share capital. It is an accredited regional federation of the Canadian Worker Co-op Federation and a member of the Ontario Co-operative Association.
