MoU Partners

By supporting, connecting, and advocating for our 47 Members across Ontario, OMSSA helps them to achieve their collective mission of delivering the best human services outcomes for Ontario's communities. This includes entering into Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) to further this work and develop strategic partnerships with other like-minded organizations. Please see below all of OMSSA’s MoUs:


Both organizations submit to work towards maintaining open dialogue on a variety of policy and stakeholder issues as well as manage an educational access partnership that is mutually beneficial to both Associations.
OMSSA and CMHA agree to work together in areas where our interests coincide and align. As such, CMHA and OMSSA agree to consult, collaborate and share information between our respective organizations in the interest of our memberships. 
This MOU continues to build the foundation of an OMSSA – NOSDA relationship for many years to come, with the aim of improving outcomes for our collective memberships across Northern Ontario specifically, and for the human services sector generally across the province.
OMSSA and OFIFC agree to communicate, work together, and exchange program and policy information to advance the interests of our collective memberships across Ontario. This MOU is also a statement of intent to ground our collaborative work in the vision, principles, and actions of the Urban Indigenous Action Plan, and a committment to working together toward reconciliation and in harmony with the principles set out in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
This partnership between OMSSA and ONWA enables our organizations to consult, collaborate and share information between us when our collective work overlaps.
