Another committee that’s getting the band back together after summer vacation is the Transit Advisory Committee. With everyone back at school, and all the school year routes back in business, plus a new transit service expansion making its way across town (we’ll get to that), there’s going to be a lot of stuff to discuss as TAC gathers around the committee room table for the first time since June.

After a summer break, the Joint Social Services and Land Ambulance Committee will be meeting for something significantly smaller than their last gathering in June, but no less important.

Plus, there will be some of the usual updates, so take a look at what’s coming up at the county!

It’s “Back to School” time for Heritage Guelph, though there’s really nothing related to school on this month’s agenda. This busy docket for the heritage conservation team will see a couple of permits, an appointment, at least one new future designation to consider, and another three to pass on to council. Put your history shoes on, nerds! There’s going to be a lot of ground to cover!! Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for September 9, 2024”
After taking July off, the Grand River Conservation Authority membership gets back down to business with some fairly typical administrative matters.

Let’s check out the breakdown of the agenda for August… Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Grand River Conservation Membership Meeting for August 23, 2024”
Not everyone is getting August off. The Accessibility Advisory Committee will take a break from the summer break to have their bi-monthly meeting and tackle several different topics around local accessibility concerns. This August we’ve got changes to parks, changes to the Civic Museum, and improving the ways you can find your way around town. All that and more on this agenda for the AAC! Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Accessibility Advisory Committee for August 20, 2024”
July’s meeting of the Guelph Police Services Board promises to be relatively light compared to the last few months (or for the months to come for that matter). Still, if you’re interested in crime busting matters beyond the role of the police, this should be a compelling meeting with a special guest appearance, and there also might be some interesting developments from the Chief’s report. Here’s the deal… Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Guelph Police Services Board for July 18, 2024”
No summer vacation (yet?) for Heritage Guelph, it turns out that there’s just too much heritage stuff going on. At this meeting, there’s more heritage to preserve, more approvals to send to council, and there’s also a construction project at one of Guelph’s most well-known heritage buildings (although it’s likely one that you’ve never been to). Here’s the July work load for Heritage Guelph…. Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for July 8, 2024”
In their last meeting before summer vacation, the Guelph Public Library Board is going to have a lot of ground to cover. There will be follow up about previous reports on the work needed to update the various branches along with some of the usual monthly reports, and there will also be new information about the end of the yer financials and programming matters. And just in time for a little summer day dreaming, the board will look to the year 2029! Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Guelph Public Library Board for June 24, 2024”
The time is here again for the monthly Guelph Police Services Board meeting and the agenda this June is focused on yearly reports. Having said, perhaps the biggest report is missing from the agenda even though we’re all going to see it in the very near future so consider this a sneak preview. In other news, we will get an update on human resources, plus there will be a report about a growing and sickening area of criminality. Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Guelph Police Services Board for June 20, 2024”
We get a change of venue at this month’s Transit Advisory Committee meeting.
