Downtown charity installing washrooms & laundry for those in need
GuelphToday
29What a great example of an organization connecting with a population, identifying a need and taking steps to make things better. It’s unfortunate that they have been faced with cost overruns, but hopefully the community will continue to support those in need.

Royal City Mission to cut hours in half amid cuts to expected funding
GuelphToday 17You believe that the people who serve the needy in your community should be paid less?

Council to consider guidelines for home security cameras
GuelphToday 17It’s mind-boggling that this issue can be on the agenda, brought forward by city staff, but issues related to homelessness get punted forward on the calendar, and action is just delayed and delayed. There are already laws In place. Police can enforce them. Attempting to craft a new bylaw and adding rules upon rules will inevitably lead to another lawsuit for the city. Just stop.

Funds being raised for memorial to those lost to drug poisoning
GuelphToday 6@Disappointed - perhaps you could have kept that opinion to yourself. No one needs to be told how to grieve, and there is no indication that any public funds are being considered for this project.

City hall fails on basic transparency. Again.
GuelphToday 7I’m not sure why anyone would be shocked that the GM of Guelph Transit would choose to leave, either to retire, or to accept a better job elsewhere. We’ve seen over and over that Guelph is not committed to improving transit (and this doesn’t apply only to sitting council). Big ideas never come to fruition, and when it’s time to make budget cuts, transit is always on the chopping block. That the City can’t comment on personnel matters should come as no surprise, and the future plans of a now ex-employee are really none of our business.

126-unit apartment building slated for city's west end
GuelphToday 4Paul, I agree with you. I can think of several newer buildings in Burlington that included commercial on the ground floor. The small businesses housed there create a nice sense of community for building residents, as well as their neighbours. I’m sure this would be appreciated in this new development as well.

City faces challenges trying to reach its greenhouse gas emissions targets
GuelphToday 6If Guelph were serious about hitting their targets, they would fix our transit system. Getting across the city just takes too long. Want to get cars off the roads? Make a transit system that’s convenient to use, both within the city and inter-city. That’s the only way to reduce traffic congestion and get some cars off the road in Guelph.

Province approves funding for six hospice beds in Wellington County
GuelphToday 4Also could have put the 3 billion dollars the government spent issuing $200 “rebate cheques” a little more wisely. Those dollars, and the money about to be spent on an unnecessary election in Ontario, could have had a very big impact across the province.
