The City has indicated their interest as a result of the York Road widening and creek realignment.
The Have Your Say page for York Road doesn't include the information from the public open house in April of last year, but we don't remember the purchase of Clythe Creek being discussed.

🦆In the 1970s, Guelph leaders and the GRCA bought the former Frank Kortright Waterfowl Park lands to protect them forever as parkland. In June 2024, the GRCA approved a plan to sell 20 acres, betraying that original vision and the public investment behind it.
