Season’s Greetings

This is the time to say “thank you” for these moments of complicity, which we have shared, among colleagues, but also among collaborators and partners in the many projects carried out over the past twelve months. Thank you to all of you for your trust, commitment and enthusiasm. We wish you a very happy holiday season!

Some well deserved rest for all of us

The MIS offices will be closed from Monday December 23, 2019 to and including Friday January 3, 2020. Find us at our new location starting January 6!

Our new residence

MIS is moving and will welcome you in January to its new residence in Montréal’s Centre-Sud district. Indeed, the Transitional Laboratory of the Young Project ends its activities this month after 22 months of operation. In addition to bringing us to settle there, this project, which is rooted in our social R&D activities, was among the first of a series of social innovation initiatives that have since emerged. We will have the opportunity to review this wonderful experience with our partner and transitional urban planning expert, Entremise, but until then, please note our new address in the Grover Building, 2069 Parthenais.
