Started in 2008, the Winnipeg Chapter invites community-minded, Canadian Muslim women of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and political views to assist in building a strong voice representative of our province's diverse Muslim women. The Winnipeg Chapter plans to initially focus on community engagement initiatives such as volunteering with local women’s groups to promote civic engagement and building cross- cultural understanding in our city. As the group more firmly establishes itself, it will be holding events and activities open to the public and media.
