About
the MMSSN (Montreal Muslim Social Services Network)
Montreal is fortunate to be home to a large Muslim community, which
has been estimated by some to consist of about 350,000 people. These
include recent immigrants, second and third generation immigrants
who for all intents and purposes are Canadians, and other indigenous
Canadians who have converted to Islam. With Quebec's policy to attract
more immigrants, this number is likely to rise in the next few years.
While the growing
number of Muslims has resulted in more mosques, Muslim businesses, and
more importantly greater acceptance, it has also given rise to a growing
number of social problems faced by different segments of the community.
Alhamdulillah, some concerned individuals have responded to these problems
by offering different types of social services at an individual level
as well as by creating social services organizations with specific mandates.
The Montreal Muslim
Social Services Network or the MMSSN is a forum that seeks to build
communication channels between these organizations and individuals so
that they may be able to achieve greater coordination and synergy in
their efforts.
