From December 2016 to March 2017, four workshops were held to discuss the development of the Tool for assessing the effects of local intersectoral action with (1) the steering committee of the Initiative montréalaise de soutien au développement social local; (2) members of the Neighbourhood Round Tables of Montreal that took part in the research underlying the Tool; (3) members of Neighbourhood Round Tables of Montreal that didn't take part; and (4) Centraide of Greater Montreal. The purpose of these meetings was to determine the needs of future users and to identify attributes and components that the Tool should have.

From June to September 2018, three community intersectoral committees also took part in developing the Tool prototype, specifically:

  1. Vivre Saint-Michel en Santé Neighbourhood committee;
  2. Young-families resource committee (CRJF) in MRC Les Moulins; and
  3. Action-Gardien, the community committee in Pointe-Saint-Charles.

Translation of the Tool was made possible through collaboration with Tamarack Institute.

Conception of the Tool received financial support from the Fonds des services aux collectivités, Ministère de l’Éducation, de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche du Québec (project 2015-010). Translation of the Tool received financial support from the SSHRC Connection Grant (611-2019-1023)
