What’s up in Guelph
May 14th – May 20th

Happy Wednesday Guelphites!

Some cool city wide “anchor” events are upcoming to kick off the summer. We are creating a separate section for these so that they get more visibility leading up to them. These events are a great way to see the city come alive! We are also a sponsor for one of them in order to help them get more exposure so please check them out below!

What else should we add to this newsletter? Reply to us and let us know, even a singe world reply like “job listings” gives us what we need to make the right additions!

Thank you!
