Downtown Renewal - Wyndham St. and St. George's Square

A sub-project of the Downtown Infrastructure Renewal Program

The Phase 1: Wyndham Street North Reconstruction project is the first detailed design and construction project in the Downtown Infrastructure Renewal Program. This project was informed by the Wyndham Street Environmental Assessment (EA) and is the first phase identified in the upcoming Capital Implementation Plan (which outlines the construction sequencing).

This project runs in tandem with construction planning and implementation for the fulsome Downtown Infrastructure Renewal Program, and the study and design process for the Macdonell Bridge and Allan's Dam structure project.

Construction along Wellington Street East occurred in the summer of 2025 to lay the groundwork for new infrastructure along Wyndham N. and gas and power utility upgrades have been happening in sections of Downtown to prepare for the larger Construction which began March 30, 2025 and is moving through Wyndham street over the course of the next four months. Construction areas will re-open in stages as roads are complete to a level to allow traffic. All Wyndham Street construction is expected to complete in 2028.

St. George's Square design ideas

July 1, 2024 - October 27, 2024

What we did

2023 had a summer of ideas and conversations around St. George's Square.

Our team was out at events all summer and into the fall to gather ideas to help us design a St. George's Square that was livable, loveable, and enjoyable for years to come.

We talked to hundreds of community members and hundreds more shared their thoughts with us online.

Our summary of engagement for the preliminary design options phase will be posted soon.

Section separator

St. George’s Square is the heart of Downtown Guelph. We have a once-in-a generation opportunity to reimagine how people can experience this space at the intersection of Wyndham and Quebec/Douglas streets.

Beyond making St. George's Square an area that is clean and safe for all, we are looking for your thoughts on the design of the space and how you can see yourself using it in the future. Please take just two to five minutes to share your thoughts on the future of St. George’s Square. This survey will close on October 27, but don't fret. We've a new tool called "the St. George's Square Design Lab" to continue collecting your thoughts on St. George's Square through to the end of the year.
