The Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC) was founded in 1919 as a non-profit organization to facilitate the exchange of information between Workers’ Compensation Boards and Commissions at a time when workers’ compensation law, policy and administration were in their infancy.
Our Vision: AWCBC is the trusted, centralized information source for workers’ compensation data, trends, and issues in Canada.
Our Mission: Through excellent data collection and analysis, shared knowledge, education, and networking, AWCBC supports its members in sustaining strong and viable workers’ compensation systems throughout Canada.
Our Members: Members include each Workers’ Compensation Board/Commission in Canada.
