Gurdwara – Guelph Sikh Society, 410 Clair Rd E.

Guelph Gurdwara at its current location (70 Stevenson St South,  Guelph, ON)  has officially served the sangat of Guelph and surrounding areas since 1995.  Before that,  the small number of families,  used to rent a school once a month and have kirtan service by taking the Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji  from home and langar made at home.

The Sikh Community of Guelph has grown to about 500 families in 2020. This is the only gurdwara serving with Guru’s grace, the City of Guelph, and the County of Wellington including areas like Puslinch, Aberfoyle, Fergus, Erin, Eramosa, Listowel, Rockwood and Morriston.
