The town’s own record The Guelph Record is an independent project and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Town of Guelph . Everything here is assembled from public records Guelph already publishes: its council agendas and minutes, the recorded votes in them, and the planning files those decisions name. Figures are parsed from those documents and checked against the totals the documents themselves state; anything that does not reconcile is withheld rather than shown. Everything here is read automatically from the published minutes and checked against their own totals, but it can still be wrong or incomplete. If something is wrong, tell us and it will be corrected in public. Always confirm anything that matters against www.guelph.ca .
