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.

Crime Stoppers is a non-profit community program involving the co-operative efforts of the police, the community and the media. It encourages people to call Crime Stoppers with information to solve crimes already committed, ones about to occur, and/or the whereabouts of wanted persons or missing persons, narcotics or stolen property. Crime Stoppers is based on the simple principle that for every crime committed, someone other than the criminal has information that would solve the crime. Citizens from the community often witness all or parts of a crime without being aware of what they have seen. They may unknowingly have information that is the key to solving the crime. Crime Stoppers provides a method for the community to overcome these obstacles and yet become involved in solving crime. Crime Stoppers is an effective tool where the private citizen joins together with law enforcement officials to solve crime. To the police service, Crime Stoppers plays a vital role.

White Ribbon is the world’s largest movement of men and boys working to end violence against women and girls, promote gender equity, healthy relationships and a new vision of masculinity. Starting in 1991, we asked men to wear white ribbons as a pledge to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women and girls. Since then the White Ribbon has spread to over 60 countries around the world. We work to examine the root causes of gender-based violence and create a cultural shift that helps bring us to a future without violence. Our vision is for a masculinity that embodies the best qualities of being human. We believe that men are part of the solution and part of a future that is safe and equitable for all people.

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.
