MEETING PREVIEW: Board of Health Meeting for February 5, 2025

As usual, the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Board of Health is getting a late start to the year, and for their first meeting of 2025 they will get themselves sorted before they get this month’s public health concerns sorted. The Board will play musical chairs, and then they will dig into quarterly and annual reports that will address the current health condition in the region and the current status of some of your favourite diseases(!).

MEETING PREVIEW: Guelph Public Library Board for January 27, 2025

The last time that the Guelph Public Library Board of Directors got together, at least in the interest of doing library business, it was at the end of November. So it should come as no surprise then that there is going to be one packed agenda for this first meeting of 2025! Now let’s dig into a new year at the library and what to expect when the board sits down at the beginning of next week. Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Guelph Public Library Board for January 27, 2025”

MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for January 27, 2025

You know it’s a treat when you get two Heritage Guelph meetings in the same month! There’s only one subject for this one and it’s going to be the always popular and contentious Ontario Reformatory Lands. The work on the Heritage Conservation District plan continues and Heritage Guelph will get their chance to formally review the work to date and give staff further advice about the direction they’re going in! Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for January 27, 2025”

MEETING PREVIEW: Transit Advisory Committee Meeting for January 16, 2025

It’s been a long two months since the last time the Transit Advisory Committee met, and the start of the new year seems to be bringing a lot of changes to regular order. At this meeting, the first one of 2025, we will meet some new staff members, hear about some fare changes and talk about all kinds of other transit businesses that might come up. Let’s get into what we do know about this meeting with the preview of the agenda! Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Transit Advisory Committee Meeting for January 16, 2025”

MEETING PREVIEW: Joint Social Services and Land Ambulance Committee Meeting for January 8, 2025

Wellington County gets the early bird worm with the first meeting of 2025 (at least from a Guelph point of interest). After skipping December, the Joint Social Services and Land Ambulance Committee gets together to calibrate for a new year with a look at the 2025 budget, changes to funding for childcare, and the latest updates about housing and social services. So let’s dig into the agenda of the first meeting of this new year! Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Joint Social Services and Land Ambulance Committee Meeting for January 8, 2025”

MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for January 13, 2025

Heritage Guelph gets back to work promising a busy 2025 after what was definitely a very busy 2024! No major heritage designations this week, or any complicated fights about demolitions at this meeting (we think). There will be a kind of demolition discussion at this month’s meeting though, and there will be some discussion about the workload ahead, and then we will head downtown for another big project! Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for January 13, 2025”

MEETING PREVIEW: Accessibility Advisory Committee for December 17, 2024

The last meeting of the year goes to the Accessibility Advisory Committee. For this one you should expect a lot of wrap up for the work of 2024 and some teeing up for the work of 2025, but the main point of interest might be seeing what happens in this first meeting after a fairly fractious October meeting where members of the AAC laid down the law, and their concerns, about their own autonomy. So let’s check out what’s on the agenda… Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Accessibility Advisory Committee for December 17, 2024”

MEETING PREVIEW: Guelph Public Library Board for November 25, 2024

The last Guelph Public Library Board of Directors meeting for 2024 will be focused on the future. Mostly. Hopefully, the board has spent the month sitting with the new direction for the Library for the next four years, because this meeting will once and for all determine the future! (…until 2029.) For everything else, please check out the preview for this November meeting of the Library Board. Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Guelph Public Library Board for November 25, 2024”

MEETING PREVIEW: Transit Advisory Committee Meeting for November 21, 2024

There’s been a lot of talk about Guelph Transit lately between the potential transit worker strike cancelled at the last minute and proposed cuts in the 2025 budget, but things will more or less be ordinary business for this meeting of the Transit Advisory Committee. Or perhaps we should say “ordinary for now” because the committee will talk about its potential future along with some of the usual matters. Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Transit Advisory Committee Meeting for November 21, 2024”

MEETING PREVIEW: Joint Social Services and Land Ambulance Committee Meeting for November 13, 2024

After a very consequential October meeting of the Joint Social Services and Land Ambulance Committee don’t expect things to get anymore chill for November in spite of the cool weather. At this meeting, look for a full scale update about Paramedic Services (or Land Ambulance depending on where you stand in Wellington County), and, in keeping with the season, we will also visit some budget matters.
