Source: Conflict Mediation Services of Downsview Service Evaluation Report 2004

Very professional. Well taken in my view. Reasonable time taken to hear my story. I was quite pleased.

Neutral zone. Both parties were able to speak and both parties were able to say what they were unable to say during the conflict. It’s a safe zone.

Everyone is working together now. Both parties see the issue clearly and are co operating to find solutions. They are all looking for even better solutions now. Both parties are on the same side now. They’re on the same page.

The two mediators we had were excellent. They resolved all the issues. They involved the parents. This problem has gone well over ten years. This alleviated the stress that my parents were feeling.

Very pleased all over. The mediators were realistic and to the point. The person is emotional and you need someone to make you stop and think otherwise you are brooding and brooding.

People that I dealt with exceptionally intelligent. Handled it well. No one felt they were in the wrong. They tried to make me understand why something like that might have happened. I was very impressed.

I’m thankful for the process. It’s a good program. Need people who are willing to make headway. Enlightening from an educational standpoint. Marvelous direction. Most effective way rather than school of hard knocks. Will probably grow. Definitely be endorsed. Was very impressed with set up and professionalism of the volunteers.

Great facilitation and healing took place for me. Concerned about how long it took to set up dialogue.

My belief, to save going to court, I believe it’s really convenient, even for the government. I believe is a wonderful idea. Is a great idea. Perfect. Very nice people.

Is good to know something like this exists. Sometimes the courts can’t do anything.

The experience I had, think about the future, be broadminded, do not destroy the future of the daughter. Do not become narrow minded.
