Through our programs and services to the community, CMWI aims to foster sound emotional health, stability and personal development to achieve self-sufficiency and financial independence in order to assist the newcomers to Canada in their settlement period.
ABOUT US
CMWI is a not for profit organization that was founded in 2006. We work towards empowering women to become healthy and contributing members of the Canadian Society. This is done, by understanding and focusing on the unique needs of the women, be it newcomer women or long time residents.
💚 We celebrated Mental Health Awareness Day with mindfulness, and our team wore green!. We dove into a Coping with Change Workshop to support each other through life’s transitions. Let`s keep prioritizing mental well-being every day.

🧡 Dear CMWI community,
As we navigate through September, remember that this month is dedicated to Truth and Reconciliation. It calls us to reflect on our shared and individual responsibility to challenge settler colonialism and endorse the commitment to accountability and action towards Indigenous people.
This educational guide, created by students from RRC Polytech Social Innovation and Community Development program in collaboration with MANSO and Elder Paul Guimond, is available in 8 languages: English, French, Ukrainian, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Arabic, and Tigrinya. It offers newcomers a crucial first step in understanding and engaging with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
Do not forget, on September 30th, we encourage our community to wear orange to commemorate the thousands of Residential School survivors, the students who did not survive colonial cruelty, and the Indigenous families who were forever impacted for generations to come.
Please take a moment to engage with the following resources
