Known as ‘The Royal City,’ Guelph and its vibrant community of 118,000
people is also one of Canada’s most liveable cities. This could be due in large part that it
has also been named one of the county’s smartest communities in 2009, its safest city, as
well as Canada’s volunteer capital.
A city located in one of the strongest economic regions in the country ? 100 kilometers west
of the city of Toronto and just east of the growing Kitchener-Waterloo area, Guelph is a city that
can offer its residents pretty much everything, not just an economic livelihood.
Helping to make this city distinct amongst many other medium to large cities, is its rich
architectural heritage, its vivacious cultural life and wonderful mixture of music and arts
festivals. There is also an abundance of striking parks and greenspaces to provide outdoor fun
combined with a host of other recreation and leisure that are available to all. Add to this the
colours, smells and sounds of its hustling and bustling farmers market and one cannot help but
fall in love with the City of Guelph.
For those looking to work in the City of Guelph, there is plenty of opportunity across various
employment fields. Manufacturing is currently the city’s leading sector, accounting
for 18 percent of Guelph’s employment. However, the City of Guelph’s
Economic Development Strategy has identified life science, agri-food and biotechnology firms,
environmental management and technology companies as growth industries on which to focus
economic development. This should pave the way for a well-rounded and prosperous economic
future.
A lively community with a strong sense of history and serene beauty, Guelph has become
a very popular destination for aspiring home buyers, who appreciate it for its rich heritage and
close proximity to Toronto as well as the Kitchener- Waterloo area. For those looking to sell
their property in Guelph, one should absolutely look into private home sales, with a flat fee
MLS® listing. Private home sales offer significant savings and, as such, many homes for
