WHO ARE WE?

Introduction​

The idea of establishing a Neighborhood Table in Parc-Extension stems from a collective desire to create an inter-sectoral and multi-network entity with the competence and leadership needed to foster coordinated action and engagement within the neighborhood. Here is a brief overview of the mission, values, and objectives of the Table, as defined and identified by residents and community partners during the first Grand Rendez-Vous on April 12-13, 2019.

History

Since its creation, the Parc-Extension Neighborhood Table has played a central role in local coordination, bringing together residents, community organizations, and institutions to address the neighborhood’s challenges. Driven by the Collective Impact Project (PIC), it has structured spaces for dialogue, launched key initiatives such as the Parc-Extension Information Office (BIPE), and mobilized stakeholders around major projects, including the New Community Center. This timeline highlights the key milestones in its development, showcasing the progress and strategic decisions that continue to shape the future of the community.
