Guelph residents are invited to attend an open house at the city’s operations facility to learn more about how the city maintains roads and parks throughout the year. The open house will be held on Municipal Street west of Edinburgh Road South this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visitors will have the opportunity to take a ride in one of the new electric buses and explore city-owned vehicles such as garbage trucks, tractors, and loaders.

The open house aims to foster a greater understanding and appreciation for the work that these services do on a daily basis.
Admission to the open house is free, but visitors are encouraged to bring in a non-perishable food item for the Guelph Food Bank.
