Season 2 – Episode 1 Of City Climate Innovation Special: Guelph Circles The Square

In this episode we speak with Cam Guthrie, Mayor of Guelph, Canada. We also have David Messer, Executive Director Smart Cities Office, City of Guelph and Carole Saab, Chief Executive Officer, Federation of Canadian Municipalities. These guests join hosts Ben Jance and Cathy Oke in the first episode of the second season of the City Climate Innovation special series.

Situated in Southern Ontario between Lake Erie, Lake Huron, and Lake Ontario, Guelph contains over half the population of Wellington County, with over 143,000 residents as of the 2021 census. The city is home to the University of Guelph, an institution of over 30,000 students which leads the nation in Agricultural Science and Veterinary Medicine.

However, the City of Guelph hasn’t stopped there, having also provided the Circular Opportunity Innovation Launchpad as a mechanism for maximising coordination between its robust private sector, food producers, and research & innovation resources.
