I get this on Friday, and after a busy weekend I finally get around to posting it. Call it a symbolic delay in honour of the cataclysmic one that's get this day pushed back from one deadline after the other for last few years. But to the release, which published a list of move in dates for city departments trading scatted distribution to provide services from a single location.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GUELPH, ON, March 13, 2009 – As the final touches are being completed at Guelph's new City Hall, City departments that have, until now, been based out of five satellite locations around the city, are preparing to make the transition into the building.
Most City services will be uninterrupted despite the move. ServiceGuelph which offers access to a number of City services will be available at old City Hall, 59 Carden St, throughout the move. Visit guelph.ca/serviceguelph for a complete list of services provided.
By April 7, roughly 300 employees will be working in the new state-of-the-art facility, providing a central location and more convenient access to all City services.
Workspaces, computers and telephones are moving into the building over the next three weeks. Below is a schedule of moving dates when residents may experience temporary interruptions.

As we reach the end of this improbable odyssey, let's keep all this in mind as we move forth on future capital projects for the City of Guelph. Before digging in to another multi-million dollar construction affair, I think something of a full accounting as to why this project ended up wildly overdue is in order. I mean, I know many of the reasons, and I've covered some of them, but it would be nice to learn how the City intends to avoid this kind of situation in the future.
