  • Our approach

    OCO partners with caregivers, health care providers and other organizations to build programs and services that caregivers say they need. 

  • Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access (IDEA) Statement

    The Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) values the inherent worth of every person and all our differences, including age, ancestry, disability, gender expression, gender identity, race, religion, and sexual orientation. 

  • Land acknowledgement

    The OCO carries out our work in many communities while acknowledging the Indigenous Peoples of all the lands that we are on.  

    This land is home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
