At the core are three kinds of organisations whose agendas overlap: those concerned with the social and economic development of their neighbourhoods (CDEC and RESO), those concerned with improving the living conditions of the community and with enhancing its participation in collective decision-making (Solidarité Saint Henri, the NDG Community Council and the Westmount Municipal Association) and those concerned with the health and well-being of residents (the CSSSs and the Contactivity Seniors’ Centre). These nine core groups are recognised as playing a leadership role in their respective neighbourhoods. They also collaborate with other groups on different issues such as housing development, senior services, food security and access to employment. They have been joined by Montreal Urban Community Sustainment, a recently formed environmental NGO with expertise in local planning and design, and strong links to academic and community partners. Batir son quartier, a technical resource group with nearly 30 years of non-profit housing development experience is also a partner, as well as the Centre de gestion des deplacements, who mandate is to reduce the number of single-passenger cars in the CDN-NDG borough.
