When select new municipal buildings, parks and public spaces get approved the City of Guelph occasionally calls on the community to help us find a name for that place that can either:

• Recognize the geographic, civic or historic significance of the area, or
• Recognize a person who has demonstrated excellence, courage or exceptional service to our community, province, or Canada as a whole.

Our Municipal Property and Building Commemorative Naming Committee, made up of Guelph residents who have been appointed by council, will review the ideas brought forward from the community, score them based on the Commemorative Naming Policy and recommend a name for our Council to consider and approve.

There are no active projects at this time

Even though we are not actively seeking names for a place, the city is always accepting names for city assets. Learn more about the process on our website, and submit names any time here.
