They collaborate with community organizations, public sector, and the private sector is mainly represented by local shops and non-profit organizations (e.g. Nature Québec).

Citizens get involved in activities organised by the committee such as local markets, neighborhood newspaper, community life, round tables and are part of the ‘Action Culture Saint Sauveur’. |
