Guelph's 12 automated speed cameras to be shut off Friday

GuelphToday

Don't speed & you don't get a ticket. Don't run red lights & you don't get a ticket. It's that easy.

Can he even win as many seats as Kim Campbell?

Looks like Guelph has a Conservative Party candidate for next federal election

GuelphToday

Regardless of the level of government, actually LIVING in the jurisdiction a candidate seeks to represent should be a legal requirement

Ban on personal use/sale of fireworks in Guelph seems imminent

GuelphToday

Holding fire works displays created by professionals in a safe secure environment make sense to me. They should be a special community event not a random nuisance in the neighborhood.

Guelph Liberal candidate takes leave of absence from city council

GuelphToday

Which part of the "unpaid leave of absence" does she collect pay for??? Just asking.I agree she should resign but facts matter

Guelph Food Bank usage surges, prompting warehouse renovation

GuelphToday

Tell me again why Rob Ford was re-elected to slash social support programs which are PROVINCIAL responsibilities? It's shameful in a province so rich we can't seem to find the compassion to fund programs to help with housing crisis & addiction treatment which could help alleviate the need for the Food Bank. Instead we're paying twice for a study to build a tunnel under the 401 rather than fix Highway 7 to KW and Highway 6 through Morriston.

ICYMI: GuelphToday poll shows Liberals in lead locally

GuelphToday

I believe public opinion poll results should be subject to a publication ban for the final week of a campaign. There's a risk polls don't just report opinion but shape it (some people like to be on the winning team or just go with the flow) Even worse, I think they can discourage voting (it's already decided so my one vote won't matter.). I get candidates and campaigns have strategic reasons to keep polling; I just don't think they're helpful for the electorate.

Student housing proposal sees no opposition at public meeting

GuelphToday

764 Beds but only 191 parking places? So we expect only 25% of the students will have vehicles? That's not reasonable. I support the development in principal but I'm worried there will be long term parking issues. It's already difficult to find parking on Janefield when visiting family at Wellington Park Senior's residence. Perhaps reducing the parking to 40% occupancy would be more realistic?

Expanded student housing at former hotel site heads to public meeting

GuelphToday

The only issue I have is the reduced parking. It's already difficult to find parking on Janefield

Guelph cop finally accepts 'full responsibility' for assaulting teen

GuelphToday

Policing is about respect and trust. If he really "accepts full responsibility" for his criminal behaviour on the job, he would resign because he would understand the people of Guelph cannot trust or respect him.

Finally! Shovels in the ground at new Guelph high school

GuelphToday

This school should be named in honour of the late Martha Rogers, a former director of education for the Upper Grand District School Board who dedicated her life to students, who earned the respect of her colleagues, and gave back to her community as a Rotarian. Martha Rogers CVI.

One man's journey to review every pizza place in Guelph

GuelphToday

With all the various challenges facing Guelph like housing, a shortage of family doctors, parking downtown, traffic, road conditions & transit to name a few, WHY is Pizza a story???

Free bus rides for high school students, seniors proposed

GuelphToday

Thank you. 930 to 230 makes more sense to me but your concept is fantastic

Arkell bike lady receives 89 letters of support as issue heads to city hall

GuelphToday

I agree she deserves an award. Perhaps a "Woman of Distinction" committee member is reading this?

Guelph's top doc flags concerns with corner store booze sales

GuelphToday

I never understood why ALL marijuana sales weren't added to the LCBO

Expanded student housing at former hotel site heads to public meeting

GuelphToday

Between the lack of visitors parking for the Senior's Residence & the parking for the townhouse homes limited to one per unit (when so many units have at least 3 students with cars as tenants) there will be a parking crisis if the new buildings don't provide at least 3 spaces for 5 beds! I know the students should be able to walk or use Guelph Transit.
