Le module communautaire unique du Collège Jean de la Mennais est soutenu financièrement par la Fondation Jean de la Mennais. Cette action communautaire et sociale implique plus de 500 personnes : garçons et filles, chez les élèves actuels, les anciens et le personnel du collège. Étant impliqués dans l’action communautaire, ces jeunes sont témoins au fil des ans de la qualité des liens tissés entre eux et les personnes aidées : des liens empreints de respect, de compassion, d’écoute, de sensibilité, de chaleur et de vie. De cette expérience unique, chacun en retire du bonheur, de la reconnaissance et de l’espoir. Ces rencontres sensibilisent les élèves du collège aux réalités humaines et spirituelles de ce monde. À travers leur engagement, ces dernières deviennent les artisans d’une société où l’entraide et l’acceptation des différences se veulent des assises solides.

Integration Action for Inclusion in Education and Community (Ontario) is an action-oriented association, parent support group consisting of parents, educators and concerned citizens, who are advocates for the inclusion of all children in their neighbourhood schools and in the community. We believe that all children have the right to a quality education that will prepare them for a full and productive life in the community. It is our belief that the best way to prepare children who need extra support is to educate them alongside their peers. This is achieved through individualized programming and supports for all children. Successful inclusion of a child needing extra support benefits not only the child, but also his or her friends and peers, the education system and society as a whole.

Lougheed House is a national and provincial historic site owned by the Province of Alberta and operated by Lougheed House Conservation Society. Lougheed House Conservation Society is a non-profit society, devoted to the restoration and public enjoyment of the historic Lougheed House. Also known as Beaulieu, Lougheed House was home to Senator James Alexander Lougheed, Lady Isabella Hardisty Lougheed, their six children and staff. This grand sandstone prairie mansion was built in 1891 and enlarged in 1907; the impressive scale and the high quality of the design, materials and interior furnishings of the house reflected the wealth and prestige of the Lougheeds. An article in the Calgary Daily Herald claimed it was "one of the finest residences in the Canadian northwest."

The Darling Foundry Visual Arts Centre aims to be an alternative, professional complex devoted to visual artists and their supporters. On the leading edge in terms of preservation and innovation in design, they designed the reception area, QUARTIER ÉPHÉMÈRE's offices, and the two public exhibition galleries. QUARTIER ÉPHÉMÈRE's offices are upstairs, on the second floor, while the galleries and reception area are situated on the main floor. The first gallery, at 500 m2, retains its strong industrial character and reflects In Situ's approach whereby the art displayed within the gallery must interact with its surroundings. The second gallery, much smaller at 180 m2, is more traditional, allowing the works to take center stage in the space. Phase 2, adjacent to Phase 1, provides artists with studios in which to create their works, along with production workshops to assist them in their creation.
