Our Chapter is a very small group but we try to do as much as our limited resources and
our busy schedules will allow us to do. Our chapter is trying to get youth involvement as
they are the future and should be prepared to take the leadership of the organization. We
have been successful in our efforts to some extent; our youth members are involved with
Muslim Youth Canada project and reports to Rizwan Mohammed, Project Coordinator.

With regards to our activities this past year

• We donated $320 for women's shelter to the Xmas Cheer fund. This is an
  initiative by Regina’s local newspaper, The Leader Post.

• One of the goals of CCMW Regina Chapter is to liaison with other
  organizations and women groups. Regina Chapter is a member of Regina
  Multi Faith Group. We try to attend their monthly meeting, whenever, we
  could. Three members of CCMW attended their annual dinner/general
  body meeting in January/11. It was a well attended dinner by various faith
  groups and Lt. Governor of Saskatchewan Dr. Barnhart was the guest
  speaker.

• Islamic Association of Regina hosted an Eid get together for the
  Community at large and invited dignitaries like Mr. Ralph Goodale, MP,
  provincial ministers, media people, different faith groups and members of
  Regina police. CCMW was part of the event and helped with the food
  arrangement.

• In December, Nusrat Jalil, president of the Regina chapter hosted a social
  supper night out for members of Regina chapter. The members enjoyed
  socializing, played games and had lots of fun. One of the members talked
  about her work with domestic violence.

• The Regina chapter implemented a scholarship program in 2004. Our
  initial investment with the University of Regina was to end within 5 years.
  In 2007 we extended the duration of the scholarship to 2012. CCMW
  Regina hopes to extend this scholarship indefinitely- Insha Allah. This
  year’s scholarship was awarded to a Muslim girl entering the University.
