On May 25, 2023, we celebrated the installation of the City's first public rainbow crosswalk, to support diversity, inclusion and 2SLGBTQIA+ people in our community.  On June 17, 2023 a public celebration was held at the crosswalk to mark Pride Month and to recognize Mattea Summerville's advocacy and those lost in the community.

An installation close to the crosswalk with background information and messaging of support and hope will be installed in the near future.


The City of Guelph will install a long-awaited rainbow crosswalk at the intersection of Gordon and Wilson streets this May, as a demonstration of support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Find out more about how the crosswalk came to be in the more information section below.

A rainbow crosswalk is one way to advance our community in making Guelph a safe, seen, and celebrated space for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, but it doesn't work in isolation. Let's build on the momentum the crosswalk creates together.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the conversation to help us to prepare for the Crosswalk launch.

  • Share a story and show your pride: Put your pride on display with words, images and inspirations we can use to celebrate the crosswalk opening and beyond. Everyone in the community should feel seen and supported. Your contributions can help others find their community and their voice.
  • Celebrate with us: How would you like the City to celebrate the launch of the new pride crosswalk? Share your fabulous ideas and up-vote ideas from others that you'd like to see happen.
  • Safe space comment box: What do you need from the City to feel included, save and celebrated in Guelph? Your comments will be anonymous, and they will help us make this City an even better place.
