Ticket to Positivity: Rewarding Good Deeds, Building a Better Community!
Launch Date: Late September, Early October
Pilot Duration: Until the End of the Year
The Township of Guelph/Eramosa is excited to announce the launch of our Positive Ticketing Campaign, an initiative designed to celebrate and encourage good behavior within our community. This innovative program is set to roll out in mid to late September and will run as a pilot project until the end of the year.
What is the Positive Ticketing Campaign?
Instead of issuing tickets for by-law violations, we are turning the concept on its head by rewarding residents who follow our Township by-laws. Whether you're walking your dog on a leash, cleaning up after your pet, or maintaining your property in good repair, your positive actions will not go unnoticed!
Our By-law Enforcement/Property Standards Officer will be on the lookout for these positive behaviors. When a positive act is observed or reported, a "positive ticket" will be issued to recognize the good work you’re doing to keep our community safe, clean, and welcoming for everyone.
What Can You Win?
We are proud to partner with local businesses to offer exciting prizes alongside these positive tickets. These rewards are our way of saying "thank you" for being an outstanding member of the community.
How It Works:
- Step 1: The By-law Enforcement Officer observes or receives a report of a resident following a Township by-law.
- Step 2: A positive ticket is issued on the spot or after the report is verified.
- Step 3: The resident can redeem their ticket for a prize, generously provided by our local business partners.
Join Us in Building a Better Community
The Positive Ticketing Campaign is more than just a program—it's a movement to build a stronger, more connected community. We hope this initiative will inspire everyone to take part in making Guelph/Eramosa a great place to live.
Keep an eye out for the campaign launch in mid-September, and who knows—you might just be the next person to receive a positive ticket!
