Industrial city and administrative headquarters of Wellington County, southeast Ontario, Canada, on the Speed River; population (1991) 88,000. It is the centre of an agricultural region; industries include food processing, electrical goods, and pharmaceuticals. It is the home of the University of Guelph (1964), which includes the Ontario Agriculture College (1874) and the Ontario Veterinary College (1862).
