There were some interesting new developments, some predictable hiccups, and at least one big surprise, and capturing it all is this week’s council recap post… Continue reading “This Week at Council: Heritage, Integrity and Budget in 24 Hours or Less!” →

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

Like last month’s regular meeting, this one takes place the day before a budget meeting, and like last month’s meeting it might be deceptively straightforward. There’s only one item to be revisited from Committee of the Whole, and then there are a couple of items on the closed meeting agenda, but is that the end of the story? We will have to wait until November 26 to know for sure, but for now, here’s the preview! Continue reading “City Council Preview – What’s on the Agenda for the November 26, 2024 Meeting?” →

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

November’s Committee of the Whole meeting will be largely straightforward but with matters of pretty big importance, especially if you like the timely and appropriate collection of your recyclables. That’s one of two matters on this agenda, the other is a matter of renewing the City of Guelph’s franchise agreement with a utility company and that one promises to get a little bit spicy.

Guelph Protesters Amongst Line 9 Arrests

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

The days of rowdy protests in Guelph seem to have come and gone. Sure, there are still demonstrations, but it seems like no one is riled up enough to get arrested for the cause anymore, or maybe there are just no causes in Guelph worth getting arrested for.
