Niagara Chapter Annual Report - 2010
NIAGARA CHAPTER
Annual Report 2010
This year our chapter has been involved in many activities which include both the
Muslim communities and the community at large.
- In January 2010 the chapter organized as session to introduce the Muslim Youth
Canada project (MYCanada). This was held at the Al-Noor Mosque in St.
Catherine’s. Five youth registered for the project from the Niagara region
- In March 2010 two of our members attended the national Marriage Contract Kit
orientation workshop in Toronto
- June 2010, the Niagara Chapter organized an information workshop on the
Marriage Contract Kit. The session was held in the Niagara Mosque and was well
received within the community. There were lots of religious and legal questions
from the participants.
- The Niagara Chapter also arranged a workshop on the bathing of the deceased.
This was arranged in collaboration with Madina Masjid in Toronto. The workshop
was held at the Niagara Mosque.
- With the support of the Niagara region Public Health Department, the Chapter
organized a demonstration of Ontario’s breast screening program . This was well
attended and participants asked a lot of questions.
- The Friday Lunch Program, continues to create revenue for the Niagara mosque.
Some of the CCMW members help serve the meals and stay late to clean up.
This year we donated over $10,000 for the maintenance of the mosque. We also
donated to other charities.
- The Niagara Chapter also organized and held a silent auction to raise funds for
flood victims in Pakistan.
- There is still a certain amount of ignorance attached to some health issues. Our
chapter continues to raise awareness and hopefully with further education we
can dispel some misperceptions.
