If you’re on OW or ODSP, we want to hear from you!
*Deadline Extended to November 30!* ISAC is conducting a survey on social assistance, aimed at gathering data and stories from individuals who are receiving or who have recently received OW or ODSP. The info gathered from the survey will support our advocacy on improving social assistance. Individuals who complete the survey will have a chance to win one of four $100 gift cards.

We advance the systemic interests and rights of low-income and equity-seeking communities and meaningfully support Indigenous Peoples and communities, with a focus on improving income security programs and ending low-wage precarious employment.
