Guelph is situated in south central Ontario, less than 100km from Toronto. Guelph is especially productive agriculturally and is well known for its industrial and educational contributions.

Guelph gets much of its charm from the historical 19th-century architecture that’s been carefully preserved, particularly in the downtown core on streets like Wyndham and its proximity to the Speed River. Buildings of note include Joseph Connolly’s Church of Our Lady and the Renaissance Revival-style City Hall.

Guelph has a strong employment rate for workers in advanced manufacturing, which accounts for a quarter of Guelph’s workers. Several major companies call Guelph their home, including the always popular Sleeman Breweries. Other top employers include Rogers cable 20 (a local TV station), Linamar Corp and Plycon Industries.

Always growing, Guelph is easily accessed by the 401, and has transportation services that include VIA Rail and GO Transit.
