MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for November 4, 2024

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

It’s going to be a busy slate for the Heritage Guelph meeting this November with changes, plans, designations, and maybe even a hint of conflict (?). Yes, there are new designations and future designations to consider, as usual, but there’s also the year-long plan to designate as many properties as possible and that massive designation project, the Heritage Conservation District study of the OR Lands. But wait, there’s more… Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for November 4, 2024” →

October’s meeting of the Grand River Conservation Authority is the usual mixed bag, and the bag will come with a price tag.

And since winter is coming, let’s also talk about ice management. Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Grand River Conservation Membership Meeting for October 25, 2024” →

MEETING PREVIEW: Transit Advisory Committee Meeting for October 17, 2024

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

This month’s Transit Advisory Committee Meeting will be on the light side, but there might be some interesting developments that might come up in the realm of member feedback or general transit updates. In terms of the one new item, there’s a matter of accessibility and integrating that into the current transit fare system. Mostly though, if you’re just a fan of transit news, this is your monthly appointment. Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Transit Advisory Committee Meeting for October 17, 2024” →

MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for October 7, 2024

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

Heritage Guelph’s October meeting will be light on new designations, but still full of heritage preservation issues. From the wall along with the river near the Boathouse to a new multiuse trail that will go through Guelph’s most famous cemetery, and from a well known set of row houses in the north end to a very different house style in the south end, there’s a lot on the agenda to satisfy your divergent heritage tastes.
