About

This website is a collaboration between Councillors Vicki Beard and Ian Findlay. It is intended to inform the residents of Ward 2 and of all the City of Guelph about issues facing our community. It is our hope that we will make regular postings about upcoming dates of importance or items being brought forward to committee or council for consideration.

We strongly encourage citizen input and look forward to hearing from you about your favourite topics.

We do reserve the right to edit any derogatory or misleading comments. Be respectful.

On top of our Council commitments, Councillors are asked to sit on a number of committees and boards.
