The City of Guelph operates buses around the city. They're fairly convenient if you're looking for a cheap way to see the city or just get around town.
The coolest thing about the buses is that they all meet at St. George's Square (downtown) every 1/2 hour (at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour). So if you need to transfer it's extremely easy (and the bus drivers are nice...they'll call the other bus to make sure you get on if they are running late themselves).
Cost is $2 per trip or you can purchase a package of tickets for less per trip. Leave a Comment

The city buses are quite efficient and run frequently (every 15 to 30 minutes depending on the route). They meet downtown at St. George's Square-there is no official bus station. It seems weird at first, but the location is convenient to do some quick shopping or other errands in between transfers (it can be done, believe me!).

The town’s 120-foot Lattice Covered Footbridge was built in June 9-13 1992 near the junction of the Speed and Eramosa Rivers by 400 timberframers who were gathered in Guelph. Based on an original design from the 1800s, it is one of only two in all of Ontario. Leave a Comment

The River Run Centre is a brand new theatre and event centre. It is a great place to see performing arts of all kinds, from theatre, to comedy, dance and mustic, to literary readings snf public speakers. The programming is always new and interesting. If you plan on going to Guelph, I highly recommend that you visit their website and order yourself some tickets to see a show at the River Run Centre.

Everdale is a remarkable facility located in Hillsburgh, Ontaro. It is about a 35 minute drive away from downtown Guelph.
Everdale is dedicated to educating people about virtually all aspects of sustainable living. They offer school programs, a farm store, and many different applications of sustainable building materials and techniques. One of the things Everdale is known for are their seminars and workshops, which take place periodically through out the year on topics such as solar power, strawbale construction, and organic gardening. Recently a smart home called Home Alive! was relocated to the Everdale, and self-guided tours are available whenever the site is open from June to September.
Everdale Environmental Learning Centre is open on Saturdays 1000-1600 from June until September. Admission is $5 for adults, $2 for children (5 and younger free), seniors $3. The maximum admission is $20.00 per car.

I make a point of attending the Guelph Organic Conference whenever I can. It takes place every January on the University of Guelph campus. If you have an interest in sustainable agriculture, or even just in knowing more about the food that you eat, you will not be disappointed by the programming. The workshops and seminars are always engrossing and inspiring.
If you don't want to pay the big bucks (usually around $100 for the whole shebang) to register for the conference, pop by to check out the Organic Expo and Marketplace. Every time I've passed through I have come across a real find.

The Arboretum at the University of Guelph is quite lovely. There are a number of different types of gardens (English, Dwarf Conifer etc.) and 8.2km of trails on over 160 hectares. It's a great place to walk and check out local flora (and fauna if you're lucky). They have educational programs for adults and kids as well as tours.
My favourite was the Zen garden. Very peaceful. Leave a Comment Phone: +1 519-824-4120 ext. 52113Directions: The Arboretum, Ontario Agricultural College,University of Guelph, Guelph Ontario Canada N1G 2W1Website: http://www.uoguelph.ca/arboretum/
