Mayor Cam Guthrie

It’s GO time for the upcoming municipal election! Today’s the day to register as a mayoral or councillor candidate! Support our local candidates #Guelph! Get informed! Let’s make our city one of the most engaged and with the highest turnout possible!

@therobcampbell @MyTaxesR_2High I think Guelph sits around 150,000 or so currently, however, when the university of Guelph students and Conestoga College students arrive, I think we jump up to an about 180,000.

@MyTaxesR_2High 106k in 2001 as per Census. Last estimate I saw was 180k for 2026 @CamGuthrie ?

How does a city with 180,000 population sell less homes (units) than in the year 2001 when the population was 70% LOWER?! Where did the 42M people and supply issues go in Canada?

Interested in running for Guelph Mayor, Councillor or School Board trustee? Nominations open May 1! Contact GuelphVotes@guelph.ca to book your nomination meeting and learn more about the 2026 municipal election at guelph.ca/vote

@yourvoice4ajax @TownOfAjax Great to see you there!

Always happy to represent Mayor Collier and the @TownOfAjax at the Ontario Big City Mayors’ Caucus meeting. Strong collaboration across all levels of government is key to advancing shared priorities and building a sustainable municipal fiscal framework.

Early morning beauty of @DowntownGuelph:

This evening, I was pleased to welcome the Ontario Big City Mayors to Pickering for their AGM and speak about #ONBudget2026. Our government is making key investments across the province to support municipalities, strengthen our communities, and help our workers and families stay resilient as we navigate ongoing economic uncertainty.

Working with our municipal partners is imperative to keeping our province competitive. This week, I met with the Ontario Big City Mayors, who represent nearly 70% of Ontario’s population. Thank you to Chair @MariannMeedWard, Vice-Chair @AlexFromBarrie and all of Ontario’s Big City Mayors for stepping up and being champions of your communities. Together, we can make meaningful change to better the lives of those we represent.

@stormradioguy Oh Larry, I am so very sorry to hear this. Prayers to you and the family during this time!

My son Jesse passed away yesterday in Ottawa, only 45, probably diabetic complications. Outliving your children is a hard thing to accept.

ICYMI: @CamGuthrie is stepping away after 12 years as @cityofguelph #mayor to make space for family, support a smooth #leadership transition, reset after the grind of public life, and chart a new, purpose‑driven path beyond municipal politics. ow.ly/YIhg50YGHpe #LocalGov

Thank you to the @fordnation government alongside the leadership of Minister @RobFlackEML and @Rae_Matt for this fantastic contribution towards much needed housing in #Guelph! In partnership with the Federal Government and advocacy from the City and our Social Services Manager @wellingtncounty we’re getting it done!

@barryjamesstein @cityofguelph @DanGibsonCllr @CouncillorCaton @ugdsb Thanks for the encouragement. Glad to see the city bringing another bin with more capacity as the other is collected soon. Seems like good results to me.

@CamGuthrie @cityofguelph @DanGibsonCllr @CouncillorCaton @ugdsb PATHETIC. Cam if this is your idea,I'm really glad you are quitting. I can see the City doesn't care about their kids or taxpayers

@cityofguelph @erin @DanGibsonCllr @CamGuthrie Can the City clean up this overflowing garbage can full of dog feces in front of Ken Danby School? Its been on City "report a problem for over a week now which clearly does not work.

Thank you @MunicipalWorld for capturing well my thoughts on this!

FCM welcomes today’s launch of the federal government’s Build Communities Strong Fund. Municipal infrastructure is the backbone of the Canadian economy. Across the country, municipalities are using federal infrastructure funding to get infrastructure projects moving this construction season. With the Direct Delivery Stream, we can accelerate projects and deliver the housing and infrastructure Canadians need—faster. The Community Stream remains the bedrock of federal infrastructure funding—proven, reliable and scalable. We look forward to working with the federal government on a national infrastructure plan that matches the pace and scale of our shared ambitions on housing, trade diversification and economic growth—and dedicated funding for rural and northern communities. #CDNMuni #cdnpoli

@barryjamesstein @cityofguelph @DanGibsonCllr @CouncillorCaton @ugdsb Just letting you know I spoke directly to staff on this on your behalf today.

@CamGuthrie @cityofguelph @DanGibsonCllr @CouncillorCaton Another crappy day. You would think the City would care about piles of dog shit in front of a public school and a bus stop, but no they don't. @ugdsb
