When distilling the many motions of the past three years, we
chose the 24 that relate most significantly to the Guelph Civic
League values and those of our members (see right).
There are three levels of information: a clear rewording of the
actual motion with the name of the councillor who made the
motion, our statement of how it fits with our values, and the
vote. You can also search by councillor and by issue.
The Guelph Civic League is a group of citizens working to make sure
Guelph gets the capable, honest leadership we deserve.
These ten values direct our work:
> Greater voter turnout.
> Genuine public consultation on major issues.
> Better city planning and design to manage growth.
> Clean economic development to offset residential taxes and

> Complete cost/benefit analysis of major decisions and
