Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Candidates from the City's List of Candidates page (also published as a PDF, https://guelph.ca/wp-content/uploads/List-of-Certified-Candidates-August-21-2026.pdf), read 2026-10-09. Entries marked '(withdrawn)' are excluded: Carly Klassen (Ward 2, a sitting councillor), Natalia Crewson and Ross Jennings (Ward 3).
- Sitting council from the City Council page, read 2026-10-09. Not on the 2026 list: Mayor Cam Guthrie, Councillors Erin Caton (Ward 1), Carly Klassen (Ward 2, withdrew), Christine Billings (Ward 4). Councillors Leanne Caron (Ward 5) and Ken Yee Chew (Ward 6) run for Mayor.
- The list prints a Ward 6 candidate as 'Quillen, Laura'; her campaign site and email use 'McQuillen' (www.LauraMcQuillen.ca). The name is kept as the list prints it.
- The page prints candidate telephone numbers: not copied. Free-mail addresses are kept only where the mailbox names the campaign; others left null. Nomination papers were not opened.
- Candidate emails on guelph.ca are Cloudflare-obfuscated in the HTML (an anti-spam encoding, not an access block) and were decoded from the page itself.
