Let’s call it a planning week. A day following the regularly scheduled planning meeting for this month, we will get an additional planning meeting. A special meeting for a special project, if you will. Remember the Guelph Innovation District Secondary Plan? Well, it’s going to get a workout as the first block plans finally come to council for approval, and in a surprising twist, staff are not offering a ringing endorsement. Let’s get into it… Continue reading “City Council Preview – What’s on the Agenda for the September 10, 2025 Meeting?”
September is here so it’s time for the new, fully staffed city council to get back to work. As usual, the month begins with a Committee of the Whole meeting, and a slate of reports that might be described as technocratic, or perhaps even boring (if you’re being cynical) kick things off. Money matters, staff recognitions, some new affordable housing measures, and a potential new bylaw to tackle graffiti are all on the agenda for the first meeting of fall!

This is the last council recap you’re going to read for a while, because Guelph City Council is now on summer vacation! Before that though, there’s a lot of action to review including the appointment of a new Ward 6 Councillor, which was a wild ride that came down to a draw between the two finalists. Then, at the regular meeting, there was actually a planning matter, and some more back-and-forth on downtown construction and accessibility. So for the last time, until September, here’s the recap… Continue reading “This Week at Council: Ward 6 is Made Whole Before Summer Vacation”

It you were hoping for a lazy July at city council you’re bound to be disappointed because there’s a lot going before summer vacation officially arrives in a few weeks.

Here’s the recap…. Continue reading “This Week at Council: Downtown, the Memorial Cup and Ramps”
