Guelph food services must accept reusable containers starting today
22The whole world is in turmoil , and all of Canada is falling into state of no return due to the Liberal party mass immigration disaster and Guelph's biggest quest for survival is reusable food containers. City council have to much time on there hands if this is a big priority and also a useless Bylaw !!

36Guelph started trucking it's garbage to Niagara Falls and St. Thomas in the 90's . Fixing our waste disposal system is exactly what they should be doing. Reducing waste isn't just some weird hippie thing . It's money in the bank.

City staff flag 'major issues' in developer’s proposal for GID lands
20Wow, when I hear the word park I picture trees, wildlife, hiking and stars, not tennis courts, cricket pitches, soccer fields, ball diamonds and parking. This proposal doesn't seem to realize the climate disaster that's just around the corner. It's pretending that it will always be 1965. Parking for 300 cars? That's so 20th century. In 50 years hopefully we've moved beyond the need for cars. I'm always shocked by the limited imagination of urban planners. Surely we can embrace the benefits of the past with the innovation of the future - not just build another soulless subdivision. sigh

Cambridge man frustrated by enclosed mobility devices on city sidewalks
25Well Bob I think he is complaining because he got run off the path by a four passenger , air conditioned electric golf cart disguised as a mobility scooter that isn't legal to drive on the sidewalk or the road. Did you read the articl?

19You do realize that people have been using refillable coffee cups for years right. Also the average persons cellphone is dirtier than a toilet seat .

16I'm all for saving containers from landfill and people being able to use their own, however:I do wonder about the food safety aspect. A container can appear clean yet carry food borne bacteria if not washed properly. That bacteria transfers to the food handlers gloves and possibly on to the next container. Food handlers do not change gloves after dealing with every order.When using a food service container it is sterile, contamination is much less likely.Who pays for the extra gloves if food service employees do end up changing gloves every order? Who pays for the extra time incurred?Cam and council need to take off the "look at the wonderful things we're doing" hats and think things through. This bylaw as well as the have business owners be financially responsible for graffiti removal is a short sighted knee-jerk reaction. Post covid food services have had a hard enough time surviving without this agenda. How about do something to support them for a change.

ICYMI: Mayor wants property owners to be responsible for removing graffiti

11Interesting how no mention is made of the miles and miles of plastic bale wrap used by farmers in our area. These bales are left in fields for years so the wrap gets ripped and torn and ends up hanging everywhere. At least single use plastic bags can be reused. So in reality the bags are being unjustly maligned. Now we drag special grocery bags with us that yes get reused, but are they clean and germ free?

Council approves Waterloo Ave. redevelopment project, again
12Guthrie's use of "Strong Mayor Powers" is unacceptable. He is colluding with Doug Ford to undermine local democracy in the same way Republican governors are colluding with Trump.People need to wake up to this serious erosion of our democracy. Right now Strong Mayor powers cover the budget and housing. What's coming next? We've seen Ford essentially follow the Trump playbook once he got elected.Prior to the 2022 election, Guthrie misled everyone by claiming that he was against Strong Mayor Powers. He was part of a unanimous Council vote against them in September of 2022: https://www.guelphtoday.com/local-news/keep-strong-mayor-powers-out-of-guelph-says-council-5818839“It’s not a power I believe we need. City council has always been one of collaboration,” commented Mayor Cam Guthrie. “To allege that a mayor knows everything about every single issue in every single corner of the city is completely unfounded."“A strong mayor initiative depletes the value of a councillor.”

First-year students begin university life with hopes and anxieties
7Of course there's anxiety...most of them have not learned basic life skills or how to cope. Total lack of resilience and it's the parents' fault.

Proposed refrigeration factory for Jones Baseline now in limbo
17It was a mistake to consider this "industrial land" when so many other industrial-zoned plots are vacant in Eramosa Township. It's right next to a designated residential hamlet that relies on private wells, and a refrigerant plant specifically puts the groundwater at far too high a risk.We can hope this plant doesn't go forward but until we can convince the zoning authorities to fix it, this area will always have this sword of Damocles hanging over its head.
