One City. One Voice. Shared Purpose.
One City. One Voice. Shared Purpose. is the City of Guelph’s five-year plan to improve how we communicate and engage over the next five years. The plan reflects the need for local government to be agile, effective, responsive and resilient as we make City services easier to access. It also supports greater consistency, transparency and collaboration among City departments and in our community.
Our vision for communications and engagement in Guelph
An engaged community that listens to and learns from one another to shape Guelph’s future.
Our mission for communications and engagement in Guelph
