John Galt Day

In Canada, August 1 is a Civic Holiday. In other words, it’s a sort of ‘freebie’ holiday that exists because, well, it’s the first of August and thus time for a holiday!

But in Guelph, August 1 is a Civic Holiday and a little something more: it’s John Galt Day.

So who was John Galt? Well, in short he was a Scottish novelist and businessman who founded Guelph in 1827.

The City offers some fun family festivities in association with the day. Read more about theĀ  John Galt celebrations in Guelph, taking place in, where else, John Galt Park!
