Building An Exemplary Canadian Muslim Community
Purpose
ICNA Sisters Canada is a group of Canadian Muslim Women working to build an exemplary Muslim community through education, communication, and development. We are committed to empowering Muslim women through skill-building, leadership training, and developing new ideas to make life better for all Canadians, especially Women and Children.
What we do
Our departments plan, help, and motivate sisters to work individually and collectively for the betterment of society, regardless of age, ethnicity, or religion. We also invite people of all faiths to get to know about Islam and Muslims. We also collaborate with like-minded organizations to develop projects and causes that are aimed at bringing positive changes in society.

MCNA - Muslim Children of North American provide necessary knowledge to Muslim children between the ages 5-12 years to help them live as a practicing Muslim and also to give them necessary tools to play a positive role in the community.
Young Muslims, previously known as Muslim Youth Network is a youth-led organization and females-only youth wing of ICNA Canada, which works closely with girls aged 14 and up.

We envision future leaders across Canada who can bring the meaningful message of Islam to their communities.
