MEETING PREVIEW: Transit Advisory Committee Meeting for April 18, 2024

Time to catch the bus, or rather the committee that advises about the buses. The April agenda for the Transit Advisory Committee looks suspiciously like the March agenda, but with one additional item. Once again, TAC will look at chimes, and ridership concerns, and general updates, but they will also hear about a proverbial meeting of local transit minds. So let’s dig into the details as we look forward to next week’s meeting. Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Transit Advisory Committee Meeting for April 18, 2024”

MEETING PREVIEW: Joint Social Services and Land Ambulance Committee Meeting for April 10, 2024

Wait! What’s this?! It’s not everyday that there’s the start of a new committee, or perhaps we should call this a committee reboot, because it’s taking something that already existed, but getting a new twist. In this case, it’s the old Wellington County Social Services Committee, but with the City of Guelph now bringing the regular paramedic updates and new members. So what’s on the agenda for this first meeting of the rebooted committee? Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Joint Social Services and Land Ambulance Committee Meeting for April 10, 2024”

MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for April 8, 2024

This month’s Heritage Guelph meeting will be a trivia bonanza! How many (locally) famous hands held the deed for a particular house Queen Street? How many original features exist on a well-known downtown building that might need a little love? How many loaves of bread came out of building you not be aware was actually a bakery for about three decades, 100 years ago? Oh, and in sadder news, these might be the last days for one house in particular. Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for April 8, 2024”

MEETING PREVIEW: Board of Health Meeting for April 3, 2024

This month, the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Board of Health will make the seasonal transition… to meeting in-person again!

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

Spring has sprung, and that’s true at the Guelph Public Library too, but for this month’s Board of Directors meeting we’re going to play some catch up too. There’s at least one big report that was unfortunately kicked down the road till this meeting, and there was a teased report that touches on some recent cyber news, but there are some new developments that going to be interesting to discuss too.

MEETING PREVIEW: Guelph Police Services Board for March 21, 2024

MEETING PREVIEW: Grand River Conservation Membership Meeting for March 22, 2024

We welcome the first week of spring with an appropriate meeting, the monthly Grand River Conservation Authority membership board meeting!

Strap in though, because this is a packed agenda with a lot of business to tackle! Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Grand River Conservation Membership Meeting for March 22, 2024”

Let’s check out the agenda… Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Transit Advisory Committee Meeting for March 21, 2024”

MEETING PREVIEW: County Social Services Meeting for March 13, 2024

After taking February off, the Social Services Committee of Wellington County is getting together again… for the last time. Sort of. Next month, a new joint committee between the City of Guelph and the County of Wellington takes over, but for this month *this* committee will tackle reports about construction projects, resolutions from the Guelph council, and the findings from a symposium held just a few weeks ago (and will be held again in a few weeks time).

MEETING PREVIEW: Board of Health Meeting for March 6, 2024

Get crunk with this month’s meeting of the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Board of Health meeting! …Not really.

In other news, the board will talk about the roll out of seasonal vaccines, and other communicable diseases that are going around.
