About the City of Guelph

The City of Guelph hosts a vibrant community with a rich agricultural history, surrounded by the rolling hills of southwestern Ontario. Guelph is approximately 100km west of Toronto.

Also known as the "Royal City", Guelph offers a blend of experiences including a charming downtown core, sprawling natural scenery, and the academic center that is the University.

While you're here, spend some time at the Arboretum gardens, the Art Gallery of Guelph, the Boathouse tearoom & ice cream parlor on Speed River, one of our many craft breweries, or even the donkey sanctuary of Canada!
