Created in 1981, la Table de concertation (Neighbourhood Round Table) Action-Gardien (la Corporation de développement de Pointe-Saint-Charles) takes its name from the English expression "Watch Dog Committee".
It is a tool that brings together neighbourhood's community organizations. Through cooperation, collective action and citizen mobilization, it aims to strengthen the population's ability to take charge of improving its living conditions. Citizens can collectively exercise power and action on issues that directly affect them: health, housing, income, education, urban planning, justice and advocacy, the environment, safety, historical heritage, culture, living conditions (youth, families, women, seniors, immigrants, etc.).
In 2004, Action-Gardien brought together 26 groups and two observer members, the Éco-quartier de Pointe-Saint-Charles and the Regroupement économique et social du Sud-Ouest (RÉSO) and it still continues to represent the will of citizens to take charge of the future of their neighbourhood.

The Agassiz Association was a society founded in 1875 for the study of natural science, named for Swiss-American naturalist Louis Agassiz. Its founder and first president was Harlan Hoge Ballard (1853–1934). According to its Constitution, the Agassiz Association's purpose was "to collect, study, and preserve natural objects and facts." Each Chapter of the Association was allowed to choose its own officers and make its own by-laws. By 1880, there were chapters in Massachusetts, New York State, and Pennsylvania. By 1884, the Association had about 7000 members and about 600 Chapters. For some years, St. Nicholas Magazine was the official organ of communication between the Association and its members. The Association was incorporated in 1892. Ballard's successor as president was Edward F. Bigelow. The American Fern Society and the Wilson Ornithological Society originated as Chapters of the Agassiz Association.
