Guelph Public Library Our Stories with the Sleeman Family
The Guelph Public Library is proud to present Our Stories. Enjoy these 8 mini-film shows about 8 local Guelphites filmed by 8 local film makers as part of our Canada 150 celebrations.
Who are we? Meet the Sleeman family and their rich historical experiences in Guelph filmed by Phil Maurion, Blackline Films. BlackLineFilms.com
Andrew Goodwin, Our Stories project manager and owner of beautifulguelph.com, shares, Guelph is full of people who have fascinating stories, and is also home to many story-tellers. This film-festival connects these two groups, and the result is an eclectic collection of unique short films. We have Phil Maurion from Blackline Films telling the story of the Sleeman family, Dave Horst from dh productions speaking to Guelph's propensity towards environmental stewardship, Elia Morrison helps tell author Adwoa Badoe's story about her experience as an advocate for afroculture, and Sandy Clipsham from Forever Tree Films discusses Guelph's role in the refugee crisis with Jim Estill. In addition, Angus McLellan, who is a leader and instructor in Guelph's film scene, speaks to author Thomas King about modern indigenous Canada, Nicholas Brown speaks to the family of one of Guelph's oldest citizen, Erin MacIndoe Sproule explores francophone culture in Guelph, and I (Andrew) have the honour of telling a bit of the story of William Winegard, who is a WWII vet, former University of Guelph president, and former member of Parliament. We've been fortunate enough to have this opportunity to connect a small sampling of compelling Guelph citizens to local creatives, and we're excited to share 8 short-films that tell a few Guelph stories, a few of Our Stories.
This project was funded by the Government of Canada. Financé par le gouvernement du Canada.

Guelph Public Library has a NEW LOOK!
The Guelph Public Library's new look presents the library as an energetic, almost kinetic assembly: a coming together of ideas, people and opportunities. Its vibrant and bold shapes and colours suggest a process of discovery, from traditional resources such as books to all sorts of additional values – either literal resources or ideas.
The tagline – Explore . Connect . Thrive – communicates an experience, a promise of all the library can be for its members. It invites the community to make use of the library’s resources as a hub for people to share their ideas as well as to connect with the outside world using the library’s technology. The new tagline reinforces the library’s commitment to provide the resources, services and leadership to help the community remain prosperous, resilient, and strong.
The new brand is the result of extensive market research: engagement with the board, library staff and the community. It was a fulsome process, and an opportunity to understand what the library truly means to stakeholders. The result is one strong brand that captures the library’s connection to the community while respecting tradition to the ‘royal’ city through the predominant use of purple, along with a complementary warm gray. Together, the vibrant palette communicates a corporate, professional organization. Visit us at guelphpl.ca
