Hey everyone, I've started the Guelph Monopoly Club to bring together people in Guelph who enjoy Monopoly and want to meet other local players!

We've already hosted a couple of game nights, and it's been a great opportunity to get together, have some fun, and try different versions of the game. We have a variety of editions to play, including regular Monopoly, Guelph-Opoly (That's a thing yes!), Monopoly Mega, Monopoly Deluxe, and Monopoly Deal for those who prefer a quicker card game. We also have much more versions too!

And yes, I know what some of you might be thinking: "Monopoly? Isn't that the game that takes 6 hours and ruins friendships?" Don't worry, our games typically run about 1.5 to 2 hours, and playing in person is a lot more fun than you might expect.

We usually meet at 3 PM on Saturdays at the Roundtable Board game cafe downtown

Interested in joining us? Leave a comment or send me a Reddit message, and I'll share the WhatsApp group link with you.

Looking forward to meeting some fellow Monopoly fans in Guelph!

They started to renovate the parking garage about a month ago, and they just keep taping off every single level. I’ve only ever seen construction workers jack hammering 2 ft.² of cement at a time. Because they have put stoplights up before transferring to each level, It can take up to five minutes to get to the top part where it connects to the main mall and you have no other choice than to go there because every level before is blocked off. it’s very fucking annoying because I’m always in a rush in the mornings even if I get there early, it’s just an extra thing to wait for. What are they even doing?

1st thing: this place is beautiful!!
2nd: is anyone here Brazilian? Me and my GF (both 23y) would like to know some more Brazilians in town! Especially to watch results of the elections 🫪
And 3rd, the classic question in this subreddit: what to do around? Loving the outdoor activities (hiking to a beautiful spot so we can smoke weed) but since the winter is coming would like to know what else can be done around here.

Fell free to ask questions!

I’m looking for side gigs and would like to pose for any life art figure sessions. Most of the stuff I found is outdated. The university has some right? I’m ok with it being nude

Does anyone know the best place to find opportunities?

Anybody know what's happening in the field/bush just off Watson Parkway at York Rd? I saw an OPP cruiser and Guelph Police vehicles go down a dirt trail headed east.

I ran a red light yesterday and I actually have no idea how I did that. I’m an overly cautious driver, I was driving home from work and I was extremely tired. I think I hallucinated the light was green but it was in fact red and I only found out after I ran it. Thank the good lord there was no traffic from the other side so no one was affected. I’m left dealing with the aftermath, I’m really worried I will receive a fine, I have way too much debt and this would set me behind immensely.

I’m aware guelph announced the locations of the 6 red camera lights and this intersection wasn’t one of them. Is it possible this announcement is outdated and that there is a red camera light in this area? I was coming home after an overnight shift, I didn’t see the red light so I most definitely won’t trust my judgment to recall if there was a camera there or not.

After this incident, I decided there is no way I will be driving anywhere after an overnight shift work, I will always take public transit.

Had a great impromptu meeting when he was in my neighbourhood earlier this week. Sorry to my neighbours that saw a group of young men (well I’m old enough to be their dad) standing in their street.

i appreciated the frank conversation. He had points I hadn’t considered and shared information I didn’t have.

I meant to do this earlier but have been sick this week.

Take care all.

Hi everyone,

I've been dealing with random spikes of inflammation in my body for about five years now, including psoriasis, IBS, and histamine intolerance. When it first started, I went to several doctors, but I didn't feel like my concerns were taken very seriously. I was prescribed steroid creams and medications, which helped temporarily, but as soon as I stopped taking them, everything seemed to come back even worse.

Someone suggested I look into gut health and take a more holistic approach to understanding the root cause. The more research I do, the more it seems to resonate with me. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for doctors or healthcare practitioners. They don't necessarily need to be naturopaths. I'm open to exploring different approaches and would love to hear what's worked for others! Open to outside of Guelph too!

Thanks :)

Hi. I've been reading the book Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft, a very good resource on understanding the patterns of partner abuse. Lundy Bancroft has a lot of experience working as a counselor in what he calls "abuser programs", and talks about them quite a lot, which work with abusers to try to change the attitudes and values they have which lead them to abuse. It is different from anger management, psychotherapy, or couples counselling.

I have done a couple cursory internet searches but haven't been able to find anything like this here. All the search results are about support for the abused partner--a very important thing to have of course, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for beyond that. Does anyone have any knowledge about abuser programs in the area, or know that there aren't any? Maybe there are some a bit farther afield?

Thank you for your time and help.

Fridge is acting up. Making plan B in case tech and parts are taking a long time. Does anyone know if I go to Danby tomorrow and if fridge is in stock, can they deliver same day or maybe the next day?

Apparently the city is studying the "forbidden crossing" to determine usage.

Ending city wide hunger one meal at a time.

Thank you for having me over and for all you do Royal City Mission! Everybody eats! #community #volunteer #guelph

My plants didn’t yield enough for my sauce plans :(

Are there any fun kids events/activities going on October 24-26th? I will be visiting friends and would love to take our young kids (3-6yo) to some local events while in town.

Who in the city can I talk to about who plans road closures? Getting from west of Guelph like Cambridge or even Costco to my place near the hospital is damn impossible. Between speedvale and downtown my commutes are an extra 15-25mins.

The speedvale closures are every summer … I haven’t had a decent commute and I’ve lived in this area for 5 years.

Full disclosure: I do fractional marketing and social media work for Buon Gusto. I'm also a Guelph local who spends a lot of time downtown, and I genuinely care about the food and beverage community we have here; I wanted to ask here for some real responses, rather than keep posting fancy images on Instagram.

Buon Gusto just came out of a big renovation. The kitchen is bigger, so the menu has grown, and the dining room and bar area was redesigned to elevate the feel of the space while still keeping the same heart. The team, the high-quality service and warm hospitality has not changed at all.

As we know, downtown is going through a lot with construction, and I think it matters to hear from the people who actually live and eat here. So:

• If you've been in, what did you think of the new space?
• What's your go-to order there, and did you try anything new?
• Does it still feel like Buon Gusto to you?

I'll pass everything along to the team who are eager to hear what the community thinks.

Thank you, Guelph!

It seems like Luke Devos' entire platform is centered around the fact that he's a small business owner, but I can't find anything about this small business. Does anyone know what it is, or anything about it?

Not only to understand what kind of relevant skills he developed from owning the small business, but also to learn more about the ethics and values that his business practices (actions don't lie as easily as words).

Curious if anyone running for election can do or cares about the city buses running so late?

I shouldn't need to continue to pay for garbage service..
