Organization Name: Conseil multiculturel de Windsor et du comté d'Essex
Organization Overview: Windsor, Ontario, Canada’s southernmost city has a rich ethnic and cultural identity. From its beginnings as First Nations, and later French agricultural settlements, Windsor has been an inviting and attractive destination – welcoming all those who arrive.
Following the War of 1812 and throughout the 19th century, many ethnic communities settled in Windsor. Immigrant groups built their own churches and organized ethno-cultural clubs in order to meet their religious, social and cultural needs.
As immigration increased, so did the needs of newcomers, particularly in the areas of reception, integration, and adult education. Organizations were established in order to provide welcoming services and settlement assistance.
Also identified as vitally important, was the need to preserve and celebrate the heritage and practices of the many cultures now established in the city. A number of groups were formed to ensure that traditions and customs were not only shared, but also celebrated.
In October of 1971, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau adopted Multiculturalism as the official policy of the government of Canada. With an initial grant from the Ministry of Community and Social Services, a meeting of over 100 ethno-cultural clubs and service agencies in Windsor and Essex County was held. At the meeting it was decided to establish a formal organization.
On April 8, 1973, the Multicultural Council of Windsor and Essex County was officially established.
The Multicultural Council hosted regular meetings to address the concerns of ethno-cultural communities, provided guidance and counseling during settlement to Canada, and volunteers to assist with translation and interpretation.
In June 1974 a $3,500 grant from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation supported the Multicultural Council’s inaugural Multicultural Festival at the riverfront. The following year, with co-operation from the Freedom Festival, a bazaar was held at the Cleary Auditorium featuring fourteen ethnic food booths together with a large exhibit of cultural artefacts.
In 1976, the Ontario Government announced a new cultural grants program. Formal planning expanded the annual festival to include multiple ethno-cultural villages. Two weekends in June were designated to celebrate Windsor’s diversity. On June 18, 1976 began a long-standing and popular tradition known as the Carrousel of Nations festival.
Over time, the Multicultural Council modified its services enhancing core programs such as cultural perseveration. Current programs, such as Settlement and Integration, Language and Skills, Translation and Interpretation, Health and Wellness, Education, Diversity, and Special Events, offers services to Windsor’s newcomers and the community at large. The goal remains to embrace our mission to create a welcoming community for all through education, community engagement, and the promotion of diversity and equality for all residents of Windsor and Essex County.

Organization Name: Muslim Community of the Western Suburbs
Organization Overview: The MCWS was founded in 1977 as a group of young Muslims living in this area realized that as their toddlers grew older, they had to seriously think about their identity and place as American Muslims in the giant melting pot of the U.S.A. These parents were concerned as they saw the troubling situation of many Muslim families in the area who had lost their Islamic values and identities through lack of knowledge and practice of their deen. This was a future that these Muslim parents wished to avoid.
They took the challenge very seriously and resolved to create a stronger foundation for their children to maintain their Islamic identity and values. Along with this challenge was that of the parents’ own lack of knowledge of Islam. They realized that without a well-rooted understanding and practice of Islam themselves; they would be ill-equipped to impart the much-needed strong Islamic values to their own children. These parents, when growing up, were bound to the values and practices prevalent among their own societies, and were still part of a cultural milieu present at the time in their own countries. They felt the need to gain Islamic education in order to convey accurate Islamic values and ideals. These challenges had to be met, and thus, the young parents began the journey to where we are today.
