Meet Ken

Hi, my name is Ken! Your representative for Ward 6:

I am an urban designer, community connector and University of Guelph alum.

Having lived and worked in both Canada and the United States, my experiences have always been centred around communities.

After living in Guelph for the last eight years, it is clear more than ever, we need compassion, perspective, and vision to bring consensus leadership to City Hall.

It is an incredible honour to be your representative on Guelph City Council. My chief aim is to represent you with distinction and professionalism by leveraging my expertise and network in planning and design.

I hear your concerns and together we will boost civic engagement and work as an equal partner on issues that come to City Hall. I want us to move forward, rise above our current politics and see our city of untapped potential thrive.

Please do not hesitate to reach out. As your councillor and neighbour, I look forward to working with you in the days ahead.

Thank you!

Ken Yee Chew
