The Canadian Injured Workers Alliance (CIWA) is a Canadian charity and advocacy organization for injured workers and occupational rehabilitation.[4] Active in providing training, educational resources, and advocacy both federally and provincially, it is based on a national network of injured workers groups whose aim is to support injured workers and improve the occupational health and safety of workers across Canada. CIWA's stated objectives[4] include:

  • improving the occupational health and safety of workers in Canada.
  • working towards a just system of compensation, rehabilitation and re-employment in all provinces and territories of Canada.
  • providing a national forum for debating issues of concern to injured workers and their organizations at national conferences and at national board workshops.
  • gathering and share information with groups and individuals across Canada.

The organization was founded in 1990 by Steve Mantis and other injured workers advocates including Wolfgang Zimmermann, after they organized a "National Conference on Re-Employment of Injured Workers" in Ottawa in June 1990.[5] The conference passed a resolution to form a national organization representing a national network of injured worker organizations, ultimately to become CIWA.
