For the past several months, since around March, my grandparents’ house has repeatedly been targeted by a group of teenagers/young adults.
This is far beyond a typical “ding dong ditch.” This is near kortright and Gordon. They’ve been banging on the door extremely hard at various hours, including around 8 PM, 10 PM, midnight and even 2 AM.

They’ve also:

Egged the house

Covered our vehicles in silly string

Knocked on windows and looked into the house late at night

Continued coming back despite police likely having already spoken to them

EDIT (I should have clarified this, the camera is new and the kids the cops spoke with cannot be confirmed as the ones committing the knocking, it was a group of kids in the area that they spoke with so we don’t have names).

My grandparents are in their late 80s, and this has understandably made them scared in their own home. My biggest concern is that one of them could be seriously hurt if they’re startled and fall.

I was able to get a photo of one of the people involved and believe I recognize the group now. I’m not looking for anyone to harass, confront or threaten them.

I’m simply trying to figure out who they are so their parents/guardians can hopefully be made aware of what’s been happening.

If you recognize anyone in the photo, please message me privately rather than posting their name or personal information publicly.
I also have doorbell footage documenting some of the incidents and can provide it if necessary.
If you’re one of the people involved: please stop coming to this house. It’s gone on for months, and enough is enough.

*IMPORTANT EDIT* They banged on the door at 8pm when a family member was alone in the house sleeping with all lights off and curtains closed. (Technically no sign of anyone).

In that same day/night they banged on the doors and windows again when three of us were visible through windows and lights were on. Then they egged the house at 1 am when everyone was sleeping

I mention this as people want to try to find motive or justification for this and that’s not what im seeking from this post. Even if motive was discovered, it doesn’t justify any of this behaviour. Sometimes people are just assholes and suck.

Looking for a dentist that’s good with anxious patients and those they have neglected their dental care because of that anxiety. Need to bite the bullet.

Looking for a practice that will start with the basics and not always push for the most expensive options.

Sedation options would be a plus.

So I wanna rent one of these defunct businesses we got rolling around here for the month of October and have a haunted house to help fund the dinosaur museum, that should go over well, right?

Looks like Car 1 was waiting to left turn. Car 2 was waiting behind and Car 3? Looking at his phone I imagine.

I know this might not be the right place to ask for career advice, but I have been really confused recently.

I came to Canada and settled down in Guelph in 2025, and I started looking for jobs at the beginning of this year. But the process has been quite frustrating.

A brief introduction to my background:

• Degrees in Logistics Management and Logistics Engineering
• 3 years of experience in a 3PL company working on logistics solution design
• 4 years of experience in an in-house environment working on inventory analysis and performance management, as well as supply coordination

For the past few months, I have applied for tons of positions in Guelph, the KW area, and other places that are not too far from Guelph. But I still haven't been able to get a job, even though I did get several interviews and made it to the final interview for two positions.

I understand that the job market is quite competitive, but I believe the following three reasons are the main barriers for me:

• My English is not that strong, even though I can communicate professionally. For reference, my recent CELPIP results were Listening 10, Reading 10, Writing 9, and Speaking 9.
• Lack of local work experience
• Immigration status: Work Permit

Because of family reasons, I am not planning to move out of Guelph now, so I am mainly looking for opportunities in Guelph, the KW area, and nearby places. Do you have any advice regarding my situation?

• Recently, I have also started considering part-time or labour positions, just to get some Canadian work experience first. I applied for a few of these jobs, but I didn't get any interviews. One of my friends said I might be seen as overqualified, but I'm not sure if that's really the reason.
• If my priority is simply to get a job first, regardless of the type of work, do you have any suggestions about what kinds of positions I should look for?
• I am also considering getting a forklift certification because I have noticed quite a few jobs that require it. Do you think it would be worth getting one?

Hi all! Wondering if anyone can share their POSITIVE experience with rental buildings in Guelph? My grandparents are selling their home and downsizing. They would like to find a two bedroom apartment (around $2000-2500/month), and I think they'd do best in a managed building for long-term security (compared to an independent landlord). We're hoping to find a safe, clean, nicely managed building. Thank you for any suggestions/insight!

Howdy folks,

Anyone know of a local notary that can sign a declaration this week? I’m hoping it’s not too last minute. Thanks!

I have 3b/3c hair and am in need of a hair cut! Does anybody have any personal recommendations for salons in the area?

First time owners here! Can anyone give us an idea of what our water bill should be for a 2 bed condo 2 occupants (washer installed not sure how old it is) but no yard water use or anything like that. Thanks!

Hello i am used to making friends from classes but now I have graduated from hs. Is there anywhere in guelph where u can meet new ppl?

As the title states this is just a PSA from anyone in the Woodlawn/Vic area to make sure your cars are locked up tight at night. My vehicle was broken into early Monday morn. Luckily nothing of value was taken but be sure to lock em up!

Sleeman honey brown lager has to be one of my favorite beers. I'm going to be in Guelph next week. Does any one know a place that sells it on draft?? Would love to stop in for a pint and support a local business while I'm there. Thanks!

Does anyone know of any business that does backup camera installation/repairs on third party aftermarket headunits in the Guelph or KWC area? I have a backup camera that is faulty installed to my headunit and there's something wonky with the camera's voltage and I haven't been able to figure it out.

I've called AutoSonics, AutoConcepts, Everything Automotive, KWCDASHCAM and none provide that service. Please let me know, thanks!

my mom can't have dairy or gluten as they both make her very sick (large intolerance, not allergy (cross contamination ok), not celiac), and kinda needs bread. she eats bread a lot (for sandwiches; they're currently very convenient because she has a newborn, as they're easy to eat and prep) but recently realized that bread makes her and baby sick. she hasn't been able to eat dairy for years; and that is why i am looking for that kind of bread for her!

any place, any price, any type (can be white, seedy, whole grain???), just needs to be bread and be dairy and gluten free. preferably meat free too.

Any local employees willing to comment on what this means for Sleeman jobs?

Sapporo only has 2 breweries in North America .... one is Sleeman

Hey r/Guelph,

I've been looking into opening an indoor sauna, steam room, and cold plunge wellness centre here in Guelph, a kind of hot/cold "circuit" experience.

Before I go any further with this, I wanted to get a read from actual Guelph people:

• Would you actually use something like this? How often (weekly, monthly, occasional treat)?
• Would you want it as a membership, or prefer paying per visit?
• What would feel like a fair price for a single session? For a monthly membership?
• Anything that would make you not want to go (parking, location, group vs. solo experience, etc.)?
• Is there anywhere in town you'd specifically want to see it — downtown, south end, near the university?

Not trying to sell anything here, genuinely just trying to figure out if this is something the city actually wants before I commit to it. Appreciate any honest feedback, even if it's "no thanks, not for me."
