Friday rally seeks city action to preserve former Kortright Waterfowl Park
GuelphToday
21Green space should be protected for the health and happiness of Guelph residents. It is a concern that Guelph has been allowing developers to pay to provide less parkland etc. I believe it would be a huge mistake for them to develop the former Kortright Waterfowl Park.

VIDEO: Steve Paikin has a new podcast we think you should see
15I haven't watched his podcast yet, but, have no doubt it will be balanced and interesting as was his program The Agenda. He never inserted his personal opions and had all sides represented. True journalism.

Guelph mayor looks to pause new bike lane installation
GuelphToday 6, I remember a 2013 council member suggesting many of us would be riding bicycles by 2026! We need experts, not ideologues making decisions that have such a big imapct. It's true that things have changed in eleven years, but, even at that time, it seemed a stretch to suggest such an extreme change in habits. Separated paths seem like a good idea for cyclists as well as drivers, but, should not be a priority over other , much needed projects, as mentioned above.

Guelph men among dozens charged in major provincial child porn bust
GuelphToday 8It's sad to think that, in spite of police efforts, there is still so much of this taking place. You would think that with today's sophisticated technology, there must be a way to block it from even getting out online.

City awards $53K to 14 projects through Youth Climate Action Fund
GuelphToday 2Congratulations to the youth who received the grants and all those involved. My guess is that their efforts will provide more cost effective climate intiatives than many that the governments spend millions on.

Mayor ‘disappointed’ by U of G 'over-enrollment'
GuelphToday 2One small measure that the university could take, is to not allow students who already live locally, to live in residence. I know it's a wonderful experience, but, with the shortage it could open up some spots. Perhaps they've already done so.

City says it's not allowed to give update in police HQ lawsuit
GuelphToday 1If memory serves, it was the request of numerous, late changes to the new city hall, that ended in expensive litigation. I do believe that, although it seems reasonable to have some changes , there should be accountability for staff who oversee a project that ends in very expensive lawsuits. Mistakes can happen and are human, but, this city seems to have more than it's share.
