Making decisions at the City level without public input, is a little like baking a cake without the sugar (or sugar substitute). It can be done, but it is so much better when the right things are in the mix.

We want to get more people involved (and excited to be involved) in decision making at the City. To do that, we need to hear from you.

  • What kinds of involvement interest you (think of anything from filling out a survey to running for council and anything in between)
  • How can we make those opportunities better
  • When should we schedule activities so you can be included
  • And what worries or concerns you may have about sharing your thoughts with city staff or council.

For more background about this project, how we got here or current ways to get involved in decision making at the City, check out the more information tab below


Thanks to everyone who participated in this conversation. The consultation is now closed, but the conversation doesn't have to end there. We are always looking for more ways to engage and involve our community.

    Get involved survey

    Your voice and your participation in different parts of the planning and decision making process at the City of Guelph helps to make this community even better.

    We are looking for ways to increase involvement across the board. From taking quick polls to delegating at City Council meetings and everything in between.  Your feedback will help us drive the future of community participation in City matters to the next level with equitable, safe, and interesting levels of participation where you feel more invited and valued and where you can make a real impact.


    Please take 10 minutes to share your experiences and your thoughts with us and to help to create better civic participation opportunities for everyone
