We had five meetings on muslim women under the project "Canadian Muslim women and human right".  Under the same project we held four consultation meetings with Muslim scholars and community leaders. Three of those meetings were held with human right experts.

Canada's first mosque AL-RASHID was opened this year for visitors and our CCMW's volunteers helped with it.

Our CCMW members who are also members of "Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities"(ECMC) organised an inter faith Iftar during Ramazan at Islamic Academy in memory of Larry Shaben and number of inter faith groups attended.

Our President Soraya Hafiz is with "Arab Jewish Women Peace Coalition" and has recently visited Jerusalem with the group. Canadian Council of Muslim Women members are also members of Edmonton Heritage Council and also represented at North Alberta Alliance For Race Relations"(NAARR).

Our project director had organised a forum of Muslim women in Calgary on "human right and Muslim women project " in October. Our members are also involved in charity work in Edmonton.

Our future plans are to collaborate with other mainstream Muslim women organisations.
