Augener & Co. was a music-publishing business, founded in London, in 1855. It was established by George Augener (1830–1915), a German.

In the late 19th century, Augener & Co.'s catalogue contained about 6,000 works, of which nearly 1,000 were cheap volumes; among these was a comprehensive collection of pianoforte classics edited by Ernst Pauer, as well as an important series of educational works edited by him, by John Farmer, and other well-known musicians. They also published The Monthly Musical Record (circulation about 6000), a journal publishing articles in English musical literature by prominent contributors.

In 1910, after Augener’s retirement, Schott and Co. Ltd. acquired the company, but was expropriated at the outbreak of World War I (1914). However, Schott retained the copyright to the editions they had previously acquired. In 1960–1961, the firm acquired the catalogues of UK publishers Joseph Weekes and Joseph Williams. In 1962, Augener & Co. was sold to Galaxy Music of New York and became a division of Galaxy's UK subsidiary, Galliard Ltd.

The Atlantic Monthly Press was established in Boston in 1917 as a book publishing imprint of the Atlantic Monthly magazine. In 1925, Little, Brown took over the publishing of all Atlantic Monthly books. This agreement lasted until 1985 when the press became a fully independent publishing house under new ownership. Later, in 1993, the Atlantic Monthly Press merged with Grove Weidenfeld to form Grove Atlantic, Inc. Since the merger, Atlantic Monthly Press has been a hardcover imprint of Grove Atlantic, publishing a variety of genres such as fiction, history, biography, and narrative nonfiction.

Au lutin qui bouffe was a legendary restaurant in Montreal that gained its fame from the resident piglet, which customers often held and fed, resulting in countless photographs. The restaurant was established in 1938 at 753 and 755 Rue Saint-Grégoire, located at the corner of Rue Saint-Hubert, in a picturesque setting that resembled a chalet in Normandy. The owner, Joseph McAbbie, was a great art enthusiast and exhibited many paintings in the restaurant, as well as an art gallery installed in his establishment. Tragically, Joseph McAbbie died in 1953 during a robbery gone wrong, and the establishment was later acquired by influential businessman Jean-Louis Lévesque. Unfortunately, the restaurant was destroyed by fire in 1972.

In 1987, the city of Toronto proposed creating a new community of 14,000 called Ataratiri in the West Don Lands area to solve its pressing subsidized housing crisis.

There have been significant and ongoing consultation activities conducted in relation to the Lower Don River and its environs in Toronto, Ontario. In 1991, an Ataratiri Neighbourhood Advisory Council (NAC) was established that included a variety of public interests related to the area of West Don Lands. The role of NAC was to provide advice to City staff. An NAC environmental sub-committee was also created that examined flood risk issues. The Ataratiri project was to have consisted of a mix of subsidized and market-priced housing, like the development of the St. Lawrence neighbourhood further west. The name for the project was taken from the Wyandot word for "supported by clay" in reference to the clay soil of the area. After investing a considerable amount of money in purchasing and clearing the site, the project eventually failed to attract private investors. The industrial history meant the soil was highly polluted and needed expensive cleanup before any residents could live there. The risk of flooding from the Don River also required a flood barrier to be erected. By 1992, the city and province had already invested some $350 million, and new estimates put the final cost at more than a billion dollars more. The real estate market had also collapsed, making any private investment unlikely. The new Ontario government of Bob Rae thus decided to cancel the project in 1992.

Association/Le Vieux-Port was created by the federal government in 1978 as a community organization with the mandate to represent the citizens of Montreal in the planning process of the Old Montreal Port. In 1978-1979, the Association carried out a vast public consultation program to find out how the citizens of Montreal wanted their waterfront redeveloped. In 1979, it published a document "Une stratégie de réaménagement pour Le Vieux-Port de Montréal : un programme réalisable."
