Guelph is consistently ranked as one of the best places in Canada to live, work, and play—all good reasons to consider a career in this beautiful city.

Guelph is located on the ancestral homelands of the Anishinaabek Peoples, specifically the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We honour the rich Indigenous history of this place and prioritize our relationships with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples who call Guelph home today.
