Our Mission

To continuously strive to improve the Support Worker’s professional status through advocacy for excellence and consistency in training, services, working conditions, and value to those we serve.

Over 12 years ago, a handful of SWs had a dream. A dream for quality care for those in SWs care and recognition and respect for their fellow SWs. That is how SW Canada was born. From there, the founders found themselves picked up by Macleans Magazine and Toronto Star plus other media, speaking about the Support Worker profession’s issues. With that media, the government took notice.

Since 2010, CANSWA has grown substantially, now representing tens of thousands of SWs across Canada. They have become the official voice for SWs with Media across our nation and Federal & Provincial Governments. CANSWA has maintained the same message since our early days and that has never changed.
