City staff will be visiting brick-and-mortar businesses across the City beginning May 11, until the end of August. The objective of the Guelph Employment Survey is to build a robust, local business database that can be used to:
- Inform economic development programming – target support to meet the needs of businesses locally
- Inform growth planning – measure the progress on meeting provincial growth targets and guide municipal planning policies
- Target connections to business support – match businesses with the programs that apply to them
- Facilitate outreach and engagement – improve the connectivity of businesses with municipal matters that impact them
- Measure economic trends – better understand the makeup and health of Guelph’s economy
