Two new groups are working to strengthen the cultural life in the Mile-End, at Montreal, the Coalition pour le Bain Saint-Michel and Regroupement des créateurs du Secteur Saint-Viateur Est, designated by an abbreviation which says a lot about the needs of spaces and creative workshops: PI2 (pied carré). As an active member of both groups, the Agence TOPO, a center for new media artists, has used his skills to give them a visibility through the Internet.
