Holiday Fun
‘Tis the season to get together with friends and family, especially those you don’t get to see very often. Going out and having a good time can get expensive if you aren’t careful about where you are going and how much you are spending. I’ve put together some holiday activities that you can do in Guelph that are friendlier to your budget.

There are lots of day-to-day activities around Guelph that cater to different age groups and many demographics.

Finally, the Guelph Public Library has an events calendar that allows you to plan your activities 90 days ahead of time- there’s something for everyone!
