Our Neighbourhood

OUNRA Boundaries

Our boundaries are from the Speed River to the north, Gordon Street/Cutten Fields to the east, the Hanlon Expressway to the west and College Avenue to the south.

Much of the area is historically significant — properties boast some of the finest examples of masonry and stone carving in Guelph.

A large portion of the neighbourhood is designated as a heritage conservation district.

Everyone residing within these boundaries is automatically a member of OUNRA.
