Testimonials

"I know the YMCA has had a long tradition of fostering leadership
development and the synergy with Ivey's commitment to develop business leadership has contributed to the success of a number of our programs."
-Professor Mitch Rothstein, Richard Ivey School of Business

We are writing to both endorse and reccomend the YMCA of Western Ontario Outdoor Centre as a provider of Corporate Development events to any organization in Canada. Your team were most professional and obviously love what they do, we benefited
greatly from the excellent de-briefing process that took place
after each exercise. We cannot thank you enough for the
dedication and professionalism displayed by your entire team.
We came away from the experience with a greater understanding
of how we communicate, and are stronger as a team. The event
was a big hit and people are still talking about it. Many Thanks!"

"Our group's Retreat experience greatly exceeded the planning
committee's expectations, thanks entirely to the YMCA team. An extremely
orgranized and skilled collection of facilitators, they made coordination
of our event stress-free, even FUN! Delivering on the promise of a safe
and fulfilling experience for everyone, regardless of each participants'
degree of physical involvement, the facilitating team kept us thoroughly
engaged every moment of an incredibly memorable day. The following
comprehensive, professionally-delivered debriefing at our staff meeting
the following month reaffirmed our commitment to our fellow team
members and the important lessions we learned that day. If your
organization books only one activity this year, book this one!"

"Today was fantastic. The task...truly reawakened
a sense of teamwork and the feeling that others
can be depended upon to lend oneself a hand. All
in all, the workshop was a resounding success
which brought not only Assembly, but Welding,
Paint and Materials employees together
around various collective successes."

"It was an experience I will not forget. I believe it is very
helpful with developing trust and a relationship with my fellow
ALs. I still can't believe I was standing on a teeter totter
20 feet above the ground. With the help of my fellow ALs,
I was able to do it. I had a great crew supporting me...
thanks for the experience."
