Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

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

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

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” →

It was a good day for the Guelph Public Library, and not just because today was the day for the monthly Board of Directors meeting.

In other matters they talked about cyber security, operating variances, and the status of the present main library. Let’s recap… Continue reading “RECAP: Consultants Lay Out a Plan to Promote the New Library for the Board” →
