Thank goodness! He knew he would be unsuccessful with the decisions of the last 5 years.

Sorry just because he has decided to retire from being Mayor I am not going to give him accolades. Under his leadership the City of Guelph became over congested because of uncontrolled growth for a city that cannot support the current density. An incredible consecutive number of tax increases. Complete mismanagement of road infrastructure. Lack of sustainable vision for the future of the city. Being here for 30 years the past 10 years I have never seen such mismanagement.

What service? Record high taxes, incredibly clueless decisions, a library that isn’t needed, and bike lanes for people that will never use them. A total disaster.

I want to thank Mayor Guthrie for his years of service to Guelph. Despite our disagreements during the time we were on Council,, we agreed more. Guelph is a community worth preserving.I have no doubt that even though we were often on the wrong sides of issues, Cam cared and still cares for Guelph. Cam, I wish you happy trails and wherever they might lead you, may you be forever successful

It's about time we have an entirely new council and Mayor. People that listen to the citizens and do not assume (tax) money grows on trees. I am so close to being taxed into homelessness. We need a council that cares.

To the Mayor, I want to briefly extend my best wishes following your announcement today. Thank you for your three terms of service and for the vision you’ve brought to City Hall. You have left a significant mark on Guelph, and I know I join many others in wishing you and Rachel a wonderful and well-deserved next chapter. All the best, Cam."

It's clear if the first priority is money, then they are NOT the right person for council - goodbye!

Gibson is the only one on the current council I would vote for Mayor.

Maybe he could run once more to show us "respecting taxpayers' dollars". He certainly hasn't done any of that to date. Tax hike Guthrie! That's the guy, 55% tax hike during his time, add in the stormwater tax and it is pushing 60%. Worst mayor ever.

Some people make $50k working full-time, what we need are representatives who are deeply attuned to the needs of the constituency.

Doesn't Gibson have the most missed meetings among current council members?

Thank goodness Caron is not running for councillor - hope that doesn't mean she's considering a run for mayor - that would be horrible if she ever won. Enough of her already.

Kudos to His Honour for his service. It is indeed time for a fresh set of eyes.

Caton is a wild mess - hopefully she resigns as councillor, tries for mayor and loses miserably! We need someone like Gibson to run

Good on him. Spend time with family and take the stress off!

The closest to a conservative mayor guelph will ever have, the next mayor if not the same will make Guelph bankrupt
