Guelph Municipal Election 2026

Ahead of the upcoming municipal election, the Transit Action Alliance of Guelph (TAAG) hosted an orientation session for City Council and Mayoral candidates. A total of 38 candidates joined us across our in-person and online meetings to discuss local transit priorities, rider concerns, and solutions for Guelph’s transportation network.

We are sharing these resources publicly so candidates who could not attend - and local residents eager to hear where candidates stand - have full access to our presentation and key policy asks.
