The Guelph Lab builds cross-sector teams to address big picture policy challenges facing our city.
Research. Collaboration. Experimentation.
Learning
We're committed to sharing what we learn through our projects. Explore some of the questions we've grappled with, and what we've learned along the way.
Framing Municipal Challenges
Why spend time making sure you're working on the 'right' problem? Confirmation bias and other traps to avoid.
COVID-19 and Student Food Insecurity
Read our Op-Ed "Student food insecurity: a problem before, during and after COVID-19."
Embracing Agile Procurement
A workshop at the CodeForCanada National Summit, co-facilitated by Sam Laban
We take on challenges that are relevant to the community and require action by the municipality – whether that’s changing policies or bylaws or developing new programs and services.
We work closely with city staff and community partners to identify projects.
