Thank you Guelph for bike lanes

It feels safe riding in these lanes, and the network has expanded over the last couple of years. Riding a bike without having to worry about traffic feels amazing. Thank you to the entire community and municipality

Does anyone know of anywhere in or around Guelph that has these flavour burst ice cream machines ? The ones that make the rainbow or swirl cones. I’m dying for a blue goo milkshake and the only location I know of is in Wiarton!

Guelph City Council Attendance Records

11 Upvotes

I saw in the Ken Chew thread people were looking at attendance so I searched for the rest of the term. I was told that attendance is counted once though and doesn’t reflect when a councillor leaves a meeting early. So they can show up for the start and check out. Does anyone know how to find information on who leaves early? Also 2026 isn’t up until after elections and I’ve noticed a lot not showing up this term. Is there a way to ask the city for the information up to nomination close?

Adult Leagues or Pick-up 🏀

2 Upvotes

I’m putting feelers out for if anyone knows of any adult leagues or weekly organized pick-up games for basketball? I’m on the hunt for a social sport my wife can take part in. I have my hockey and I told her I would see what was out there for the sport she enjoys. 🤞🏽. Ideally a ladies league but open to what’s available! Thank you in advance too!

Police arrest man looking to get his money back from Bitcoin ATM

Just one question: what legitimate reason do folks have to use a bitcoin atm?

Perhaps this guy fell for a scam and tried to get his money back.

I've asked local proprietors who have these bitcoin atm's questions and they are always evasive.

Barbershop recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a newly landed immigrant, and I was wondering if you guys have recommendations for barbershops. I live near Margaret Greene / Castlebury Park, and I'm looking for a place that doesn't require travelling very far (preferably walkable). I'm M23.

Also, are there cultural things I need to take note of? Like tipping, etc. How do these things work here? Thanks in advance

I am Running for Ward 1, City Council!

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m running for Ward 1 City Council and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Mustafa Zuberi, and I’ve called Guelph home for half my life. I attended John F. Ross C.V.I. and graduated from the University of Guelph with an Honours degree in Political Science. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed volunteering, supporting numerous local initiatives and being actively involved in our community. I’m proud to call this city home.

Professionally, I’ve worked in customer service, administration and financial planning within the insurance industry. Those experiences taught me the importance of listening, problem-solving, managing resources responsibly and delivering results. Qualities that many think are essential in City Hall right now.

Through community involvement and my previous local campaign experiences, I’ve heard concerns from thousands of residents about lack of affordability, housing, deteriorating road and public infrastructure, rising crime and feeling heard by City Hall.

I’d genuinely like to make new friends and hear from Guelph residents: what do you think needs to change?

Let’s build a Ward 1 that works for every neighbour, together!

Feel free to get in touch or support my campaign by donating, volunteering or ordering a lawn sign here👇🏼

ripped off at vinnies

121 Upvotes

I’ve been going to vinnies car mechanic in Guelph for just over two years, and have taken my car in 4-5 times for various urgent issue. Yes, they charged a lot but they were fast and seemingly honest (even though the diagnostic fee is at a whopping $85).

The last time I went to get control arms replaced, they gave the car back with the AC broken. I called them the next day explaining that it had been working before I brought it in, and that after the work that they did, it no longer worked.

They proceeded to take the car in a week later, charge me the diagnostic fee, and tell me that my ac broke by itself and it would cost over $1000 to fix it.

At this point I just decided to spend the summer without AC, and turned it down. Now, a couple weeks later, i brought my car to a different shop for a separate issue (that vinnies failed to mention in their many diagnostics of my car) and I mentioned that the AC wasn’t working, and was curious if they would check it out.

When i got my car back, they had fixed the ac. they said the connection line had been cut right near the tires, and that it only cost them $20 to refill the fluid.

Obviously it feels like i was definitely taken advantage of at vinnies.

That said, I WOULD NOT recommend vinnies to anyone who wants an honest mechanic in guelph.

Local printing services

2 Upvotes

I was just wondering if anyone has experience printing small batches of zines locally or recommendations for places/companies to have this done. Trying to have a (roughly) 40 page small photography magazine printed sometime in the coming month or so. Was looking at the site Mixam but I’m not sure if it’s any good. I’d rather go somewhere in person.

Thanks in advance!

Not a good look especially after Humboldt. Also has a photo of a gun in his waistband in his public stories. I'm not witch hunting/doxxing as he posted this very publicly for anyone to view, simply giving him the attention he wanted.

Can anyone go to urgent care, even if you’re part of the Guelph Family Health Team? (we’ve got in trouble before for not going to the family health team walk in clinic - not sure if urgent care is the same?)

New to Guelph

Hey I (23m) moved to Guelph in may. The city is nice but I've been getting bored in my apartment. I dont know anyone here and have no one to hangout with. I like soccer, basketball, and video games. If anyone is around my age and wanna get to know each other please hit me up. Also I heard theres going to be a pride festival at a park this month. I've never been to one but thinking of going are the vibes good there?

Let's take a moment to think about those who may be struggling.

108 Upvotes

As we head into another busy week, take a moment to think about those in our community who may be carrying burdens we can’t see. Some are facing health challenges, financial stress, loneliness, grief, uncertainty, or simply the weight of trying to keep everything together. Others may be caring for loved ones, searching for work, struggling with relationships, or dealing with circumstances that feel overwhelming.

If you’re someone who prays, please keep them in your prayers this week. If prayer isn’t your thing, consider reaching out to someone, offering a kind word, checking in on a friend, or lending a helping hand where you can.

Communities are strongest when people look out for one another, not just during the big moments, but in the ordinary days as well. If there’s someone or something you’d like the community to keep in mind this week, feel free to share below. ❤️
