The Canadian Muslim Women's Institute Inc. (CMWI) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2006. CMWI is the first organization of its kind in Manitoba where Muslim women are both the leaders and participants of their own organization. The goal of the Institute is to promote and empower Muslim women and their families socially, economically and spiritually, within the spirit of Islamic principles. CMWI is run by an elected Board comprised of women of diverse cultures, ages and professions.
Churches have 'uniquenesses' that are all their own. We've come to understand what some of these are for us and we call them our 'provocative distinctives' . They are the characteristics, teachings and beliefs that make the Riverwood faith-family what it is. These are the statements that describe something of the ethosand culture of Riverwood.They are 'provocative' in that they will either spark your interest and fire your passion... or they will simply drive you a bit crazy. They will either be the heart-pounding belief you share with us, stoking your own faith... or they will be the very dynamics that help you realize Riverwood isn't the best fit for you. Regardless of what you think of them... they are who we are and who we will continue to become.
