Calgary Immigrant Women's Association (CIWA) was established in 1982 as a non-profit organization to address the needs and concerns of immigrant and refugee women, youth, children and families.

CIWA has developed a reputation for its innovative and unique approaches to providing essential services to immigrant and refugee women. The demand for our services increases with each passing year as Calgary receives the fourth largest intake of newcomers to Canada.

We are the only immigrant serving agency in Calgary offering all-female programs and services. CIWA's Mission, Vision and Values guide staff and volunteers in our commitment to providing programs and services designed to empower women for the benefit of their entire family and our community.

Over the years, CIWA has been honored to receive recognition for our commitment to immigrant women and their families by the community.
