Nutcracker Magic Produced by volunteers since 1975 Vol. 44, Issue 5 - December 2019/January 2020 Nutcracker Magic In early September, young dancers from Guelph and surrounding communities auditioned for a variety of roles in this year’s Guelph performances. At those auditions, 23 local dancers were selected, representing 8 different dance schools in Guelph, Fer- gus, Orangeville and Waterloo. The company’s Nutcracker Youth Program provides young dancers with the opportunity to perform with a professional dance company and, for those consider- ing a career in dance, a valuable opportunity to expe- rience the inner life and working of a ballet company. For the River Run performances, all seats are re- served. Adult tickets are $53/$48, senior tickets are $49/$44 and student tickets are $36/$31. Premier seating price is $73. Prices include HST; additional service charges may apply. Tickets are now on sale at River Run Centre Box Of- ¿FH DW RU RU ZZZ riverrun.ca .

    NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Pedestrian Bridges over the Speed River linking St. Patrick’s Ward to Downtown The Study The City of Guelph (City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for proposed improvements to address the future pedestrian and cyclist traffic demands with two new bridge crossings over the Speed River. The study area is bound by Wellington Street East, Macdonell Street, Guelph Junction Railway (GJR) tracks, Arthur Street South, and includes an area approximately 90 metres south of the existing GJR tracks. The City is proposing to construct one of the bridges immediately south of the GJR tracks to link a future active transportation trail along the GJR tracks from Macdonell to Huron Streets through St. Patrick’s Ward. A second pedestrian bridge is proposed within the Study Area located further south along the Speed River to address anticipated increased pedestrian and cycling traffic generated from the Metalworks condominium development on Arthur Street South and other anticipated developments to the east. The site location and approximate extents of the Study Area are shown on the map provided below. The Process The Class EA will be conducted as a Schedule ‘B’ Project in accordance with the "Municipal Class Environmental Assessment” document (Municipal Engineers Association, October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA process includes public and review agency consultation, an evaluation of alternatives, an assessment of potential environmental impacts of the proposed improvements, and identification of reasonable measures to mitigate any potential adverse impacts.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions 1. What are Readers’ Choice Award Nominations? Every year the Guelph Mercury Tribune hosts an online nomination site https://www.guelphmercury.com/readerschoice/ where people from the community can go to nominate their favourite businesses and/or professionals from the community to be recognized. 2. How many times can you nominate a business and/or professional? You can nominate your favourite business and/or professional once per 24-hour period. 3. Do all the businesses and professionals that have been nominated move forward to the final voting phase? No. Since there are so many businesses and professionals listed, at the end of each nomination period, each nomination category will be sorted from highest to lowest nomination count. The ten (10) businesses/professionals with the highest nomination counts in each category will move forward to the voting process. 4. Will all the businesses/professionals that have been nominated be contacted? Account Executives at the Guelph Mercury Tribune will do their best to reach everyone on the official nominees list (highest counts), but we cannot guarantee everyone will be contacted due to the large volume of nominees. 5. Do we receive anything for being an official nominee? Your name will be listed in an “Official Nominees” Section that will be published in the Guelph Mercury Tribune. All businesses and professionals are encouraged to advertise in this special section as many of our readers may refer to it throughout the year. A digital version of the “Official Nominees” Section will also be posted on https://www.guelphmercury.com/readerschoice/. 6.
