At its fall 2006 conference, the CCMW launched a scholarship to mark its 25th anniversary in 2007 and to honour Dr. Lila Fahlman, educator, philanthropist and the founder of the Council. Dr. Fahlman, who dedicated her life to public service, was a trailblazer for Muslim women in civic life. In 1971, she ran for public office on the New Democratic Party ticket in a federal election.

The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) has expanded its family of scholarships for the 2008-2009 academic year. Scholarships will be awarded to Muslim women pursuing post-secondary programs in education, social sciences, social justice, media and the arts.

The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) has released a compendium of three research papers on the theme of Canadian Muslim Women at the Crossroads: From Integration to Segregation? According to various studies by CCMW, Muslim women tend to be disengaged from civic and political life in Canada. Despite high levels of education, they are also more likely to be underemployed or absent from the labour force.

The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) is honouring Canadian Muslim Women who have made a difference in the lives of others in Canada and elsewhere. CCMW is bestowing its first-ever awards to Muslim "Women Who Inspire", to provide role models for girls and women and promote a positive image of Canadian Muslim women.

The Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW) is now accepting applications for the Dr. Lila Fahlman Scholarship for the 2007-2008 academic year. The scholarship was launched at CCMW's fall conference in Ottawa to honour Dr. Lila Fahlman, educator, philanthropist and the founder of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women.
