Testimonials

Our lives are as wonderful and various as a drop of water. A drop of water can exist as a liquid, as vapor, and solid ice. Each state is apparently different but essentially the same. So too our lives – our lives exist deep within us, in spirit perfect in its incarnation from birth to death. But our lives also exist in all our actions and creations from mental maps of experience and values to our behaviors and products of our hands.
And lastly, through the exercise of empathy and compassion, we live in the lives of others, in their affections, experience of us, and their words.

Our lives– various, transformative, Interconnected and sustaining in all its forms and phases.

Here are words about us in the lives of others:

Executive Director, Parent Action on Drugs

“Trinity’s senior partners, Alan Richardson and Sandra Crockard have a clear vision of the potential of both community and youth, and the intersection of the two for the betterment of society. All of their interactions with youth show a profound respect for their capabilities, and they are able to empower youth, through their unique training style, to produce their very best.”
-Diane Buhler

Vice Principal (retired), West Hill Collegiate,

Toronto ON

“Our incoming Grade 9’s feel better prepared for high school. Our suspensions for fighting and harassment have decreased from last year. Some of my student peer leaders have received wonderful scholarship opportunities and our staff and students welcome the additional leadership from these students.”
-Lynn Tidd

Coordinator(former), Safe & Caring Schools

Ottawa Carleton District School Board

“As Coordinator for Safe and Caring Schools, I found the process used to be incredibly supportive of the concepts we promote as a school board. The students are seen as the experts from whom we learn, they are coached to learn the skills necessary and then given windows of opportunity to make change. They are in on the ground floor, modeling appropriate behaviour and mentoring Grade 9 students who feel less confident in their role in the school.”
-Nanci Burns

Student Leadership, Marc Garneau Collegiate

Toronto ON

“Students understand the work they have done with Sandra and Alan, and talk about it, refer to it, use it for months (and in the case of at least one student who has remained in touch, years) after the workshops have been concluded.”
-Sally Spofforth

Student and Peer Leader

“You may remember me – we worked together years back. I have not forgotten you. I felt it necessary to update my CV… there was one thing I found myself wanting to carry over from my previous years: my leadership experiences with you and Trinity Theatre. If there is one thing I have learned over my years as a business student and now working in a highly regulated, professional and political workplace is the true value of leadership. My experience of working with Trinity is something I am happy to carry forward with me.”
