Wellington Street Dam reservoir reopening for recreational use
Royal City Park in Guelph is pictured on Friday, June 29, 2018. Recreational use of the Wellington Street Dam reservoir in Guelph is resuming. The Grand River Conservation Authority left the gates to the dam at Royal City Park open in May 2025 while the city completed a construction project near Eramosa River. However, when the in-water portion of the work was done, the conservation authority discovered a bird had moved in and set up a nest. The new resident delayed refilling the reservoir because the nest was protected by the Canadian Migratory Birds Conservation Act and Regulation. In a news release on Friday, the conservation authority said the birds have now fledged and are no longer at risk of being flooded. The reservoir will be refilled over the weekend. Once it's done, recreational use can resume.
