Housing, community projects and social issues highlight Guelph mayor’s state of the city address

In his speech, Guthrie mentioned two projects that are expected to be built during this term of council: the Baker Street redevelopment and the south-end recreation centre. He showed two newspaper articles published in 2014 to explain how council at the time was asked for $59 million for the rec centre, and $43 million for the Baker Street redevelopment.“Last year, the bid came in at $121 million. Next month, an updated report on the scoping of the project and cost will arrive to council.

“We need to make sure that we do not allow the downtown core to slip away to behaviours that are not acceptable in our community,” said Guthrie. “ is not just for the people who run the businesses, but visitors to the city who want to shop and take in what the downtown core has to offer.”
