In addition to the scholarships, CCMW honours Canadian Muslim women from diverse backgrounds that have achieved excellence in sports, business, education, arts, community service, and leadership. Challenging the conventional stereotypes, these women proudly serve their communities and are a source of inspiration for all Canadians.
