Ontario Region staff meet with government officials to deal with program matters. Much of this work centres on the Social Housing Reform Act, which SHRA co-ops need to follow. Together with regional federations, the Ontario Region works with municipal service managers on issues that affect a single co-op or co-ops throughout the service manager’s area. Discussions with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing focus on issues that affect co-ops across the province.

Ontario Region staff also intervenes with other Ontario government ministries to help co-ops sort out problems arising from other provincial legislation, such as the Co-operative Corporations Act.

For management help on the Social Housing Reform Act, check out Funding programs in the Resource Centre.

For general management help, go to Managing your co-op in the Resource Centre.

Through Co-op Talk, co-op members have easy access to advice and information from their peers across the country and from CHF Canada staff.
