Guelph

Guelph is a city of over 160,000 people in southwestern Ontario, about an hour drive southwest from Toronto and an hour northeast from London. Known as the Royal City, Guelph has a diversified economy and is not dependent on any single industry, though agri-food and biotechnology companies are often attracted to the area.

In 2022, Guelph ranked second in Ontario, and fifth in Canada, for livability. The city also traditionally ranks well below the country’s average when it comes to crime rates. 

Home to the University of Guelph and Conestoga College, the city has a rich local culture and vibrant community, making it a great place to live.
