Specifically, this Monday our approach will be

·A school wide email providing students information and encouraging responsible behaviour will be sent by the University of Guelph
·University student spirit teams will be present in neighbourhoods to address minor waste issues and also encourage responsible behaviour
·Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission Inspectors will be working during the day
On Monday, we anticipate an increase in calls for service
and to ensure appropriate action is taken in a timely manner, residents are encouraged to report concerns to the Guelph Police Service at 519 824-1212.Through out the day, supervisors will be monitoring calls for service and providing further direction to staff as required.
