At What’s Up Guelph, we are committed to delivering accurate, timely, and community-driven content for the residents of Guelph, Ontario. These editorial policies outline how we create, review, and maintain the content on our site.
Our Editorial Principles
- Accuracy — We verify event details, business information, and local news through official sources, direct communication with organisers, and firsthand experience before publishing.
- Independence — Our editorial team operates independently from advertising and business partnerships. Sponsors and advertisers do not influence our coverage, reviews, or recommendations.
- Community First — Our content is created to serve the Guelph community. We prioritise stories, events, and information that matter to local residents.
- Transparency — We clearly disclose affiliate relationships, sponsored content, and any potential conflicts of interest.
- Inclusivity — We strive to represent the diverse voices, businesses, and organisations that make up the Guelph community.
- Fairness — All businesses, events, and community organisations receive the same standard of coverage and consideration.
Content Corrections Policy
We take accuracy seriously. If an error is identified in any published content, we address it promptly:
- Minor Corrections — Typos, grammatical errors, and minor formatting issues are corrected without a formal notice.
- Major Corrections — Factual errors related to event details, business information, or community news are corrected with a visible correction notice noting what was changed and when.
If you spot an error or have updated information about an event or business, please let us know through our Contact page.
Event Listings
What’s Up Guelph publishes event information based on details provided by organisers, venues, and official sources. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy, event dates, times, locations, and pricing are subject to change. We encourage readers to confirm details directly with the event organiser before attending.
Sponsored Content Policy
What’s Up Guelph may publish sponsored or promotional content from local businesses and organisations. All sponsored content is clearly labelled with tags such as “Sponsored,” “Promoted,” or “In Partnership With” so readers can easily distinguish it from our independent editorial content.
Sponsors may suggest topics, but they do not have editorial control over the final content, tone, or conclusions. Our editorial team retains full authority over all published material.
Affiliate Links
Some articles on What’s Up Guelph may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial opinions or recommendations.
AI Usage Policy
What’s Up Guelph may use AI tools to assist with research, drafting, and content organisation. However, all content is reviewed, edited, and approved by our editorial team before publication. AI does not autonomously publish content on our site. Human oversight is maintained at every stage of the editorial process.
