Built from the City of Guelph's published address list and official ward boundaries. Addresses looked up here are recorded so the campaign knows which parts of the ward to visit.

Guelph's six wards

Each ward elects two councillors. The mayor is elected by the whole city. Population figures are the City's own counts, and the change column runs from 2016 to 2022 — worth a look, because the wards have not grown evenly.

Where Ward 5 starts and stops

Ward 5 — St. Andrew's — runs from Waterloo Avenue in the north to Kortright Road in the south, and from Victoria Road in the east out to the city limits in the west.

It is the most mixed ward in the city. It takes in the University of Guelph and the student neighbourhoods around it, Stone Road Mall and the city's largest commercial strip, a slice of downtown, the Speed River and its parkland, established residential streets, and newer subdivisions in the south.

A few streets sit on a boundary and run through more than one ward — Gordon Street crosses four of them. That is why the lookup above asks for your house number when it needs to.
