Guelph/Eramosa

Among the cities of Ontario, Guelph stands out for its limestone-built centre at the confluence of the Speed and Eramosa rivers. Founded in 1827 by Scottish novelist and Canada Company official John Galt, it was planned as a settlement in what was then Upper Canada; its name honours the House of Guelph, linked to Britain’s Hanoverian monarchy. Local stone gives downtown much of its character, while the Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate, a Gothic Revival church completed in 1888, rises above the core. The University of Guelph adds a major academic presence to this riverside city. Browse other webcams across Ontario to place Guelph in a wider geographic context.
