North York Civic Centre

Came here for a marriage license and the process was quick and efficient. Although when arriving, it’s easy to get lost. Fortunately there’s security to help direct you to the right direction and even when late for the appointment by 15 mins, the people at the counter said it was not a problem and the whole process took about 10 mins. Also, when visiting, the North York Civic Centre itself was pretty.

It’s a quiet place. I was not a fan of the parking. Going into a government building to pay for property tax or parking and again you have to pay for parking. Come on. Not happy at all. They have to come up with a system not to pay for residents when you visit the government building. Some sort of stamp or something. Poor service

The building itself was quite nice, and it was not very busy. We went there for a marriage license, and the process was very efficient and quick. However, the staff could be a little friendlier. The lady at the middle counter was very rude to us. Every time we asked a question, she gave us a look as if we were taking too much of her time. I was a shocked by how rude and unprofessional this employee was. Anyway, the whole appointment took about 7-10 min, so it was a quick and simple process.

There is construction inside and out which makes this a less than inviting place to be. I was just there for my wedding and the chapel was nice. The wallpaper and lighting made for lovely pictures. We did have issues with the sound system though. There is also a small room at the back where brides can prepare though there is no mirror and there is a coat rack which is handy.nWe had hoped we could use the underground parking but there is no direct access or signs so finding your way is incredibly confusing. We ended up just using the Green P parking across the street.

I was pleasantly surprised that a bureaucratic place like this was this efficient. Not crowded because you're given specific appointments so you arrive 15 mins before and you're good to go. I went to get a marriage licence, so you need to enter from the south side when you enter, look up on the inside, it will say which entrance it is. I parked on the side of the building and it cost me $2.50 for the few minutes I was there. The employee at the counter wasn't super friendly, but wasn't rude either. Overall, it's clean, efficient and looks good.
