Our History

GCAT Since 2015

The Guelph Community for Active Transportation was founded in 2015 by a group of residents who shared a vision: making Guelph a city where walking, cycling, and rolling are safe, convenient, and enjoyable ways to get around.

Our Journey

Over the years, GCAT has grown from a small group of advocates into a recognized voice for active transportation in our community. We have worked alongside City Council, municipal staff, and community partners to advance infrastructure improvements and policy changes that benefit all residents.

Key Milestones

2015 – GCAT founded by community volunteers passionate about sustainable transportation

2018 – Successful advocacy for the Woodlawn Road multi-use path

Ongoing – Continued partnership with BikeMaps.org to identify infrastructure gaps and priorities

Ongoing – Annual events including cycling festivals, community rides, and educational workshops

Looking Forward

GCAT continues to advocate for a more connected, accessible, and safe active transportation network in Guelph. With the support of our members and volunteers, we are working toward a future where every resident can comfortably walk or cycle to their destination.
