An issue involving six years of T4s to cover stipends seems to have prompted all but one member of the University of Guelph Faculty Association executive to resign due to “ relentless attacks” from critics.

A new gravel pit is being proposed between Guelph and Elora to support local construction operations. Others, meanwhile, are planning a protest.

Regional food banks are getting ready for a summer boom once school breaks along with their breakfast and lunch program.

It might cost Waterloo Region nearly $6 million per year, plus another $2.5 million in capital costs, to take over management for A Better Tent City.

Changes to the FOI rules at Queen’s Park means that the CBC can no longer get the premier’s daily itinerary, which they’ve been having to secure through FOIs since Doug Ford took office in 2018.

The premier’s team has been accused of doctoring a photo of protestors at Ford Fest to make them look like supporters, but the staffers say they were just trying to remove the “ orange hue”.

It seems less and less likely that Ontario will reach that 1.5 million new homes goal from three years ago, but Doug Ford won’t say if he’s going to reconfigure his expectations.

Guelph Royals (IBL): For the first time this season, the Royals have more points in the win column than the losses one. Last Tuesday, the team managed to stay ahead of the Barnstormers and were able to keep them at bay for the last three innings in order to win 10-9. On Friday, a trip to Hamilton looked like a done deal for the Cardinals until the Royals scored 10 runs at the top of the ninth in order to take the game 13-9. Weather won on Saturday night with the game against Toronto getting postponed after one-half of one inning, but it was the Jackfish who made it rain in Welland when they clobbered the Royals 6-20. The Royals and the Cardinals are both tied for fourth in the CBL.

Guelph Storm (OHL): The team has released its full 2026-2027 regular season schedule.

Guelph Gryphons (OUA): Some summer sports action last week as five students from the Guelph’s varsity golf program made their way to Lévis, Québec for the 2026 Canadian University/College Championship where they finished in seventh place, the best ever showing for the team. Looking ahead to the fall, the soccer teams have announced their schedule, and Homewood Health has been announced as the Presenting Partner of the 2026 USPORTS Women’s Rugby Championship, which is being hosted at Alumni Stadium at the U of G from November 4-8.

We finally have a real showdown in the mayor’s race with Caron versus Chew, and we have a tonne of new faces vying for many of those open council seats, but what about how oddly quiet it is on the school board front? Let’s dig into it!

Guelph Royals (IBL): It was supposed to a busy week for the Royals, but it ended up getting halfway washed out. Last Tuesday’s game at Hastings against the Baycats was postponed before it began, and the next night the team got essentially washed away again by taking a 0-10 loss against the Maple Leafs in Toronto. Back at Hastings on Saturday, the Royals were able to literally get one by the Kitchener Rangers in a 7-6 win, but the Sunday rematch was one of four games around the league cancelled on account of rain.

Although they were down by six runs at the top of the fifth, the ‘Creeks scored seven times in the next two innings, but the Tigers were able to keep up and then force two more scoreless innings to end the game in a tie. The Cambridge Cubs are in town tonight.

Guelph Regals (Junior B Lacrosse): On Wednesday it was a rare loss for the Regals, and the first at home, when the Orangeville Northman scored a goal in overtime to take the game 9-8. But things started looking up again when the Regals scored three times in the first four minutes and kept up that pace in order to finish the game 10-8 against the Hamilton Bengals. The team then headed to Welland where they raided the Raiders 15-3 and outshot them 81-11.

Adam A. Donaldson

Jun 15, 2026
