River Run Centre

Guelph's magnificent performing arts centre is set along the picturesque bank of the Speed River in the City's downtown core near the site where Guelph was founded. "The copper wall creation (at the entrance to River Run) links us to Guelph's early days when John Galt, a novelist, dramatist and poet, gave us a cultural outlook from the beginning. He dwelt not only on the necessities of life but on elements that nourish and enrich the mind and heart. For 170 years the people of Guelph have acted on his principles and continue to do so." - Gloria Dent, Guelph.
