The cost of living is an increasingly urgent concern for many families and individuals across Guelph.
Accountability & Communication
The decisions I make and the issues I advocate for at Guelph City Council are based on what’s most important to my constituents.

Rodrigo Goller
Accessible & Accountable Leadership for Guelph
Hello, I’m Rodrigo Goller. My wife, our toddler and I live in Ward 2. We love this community and are grateful to call Guelph our home.
My family moved to Guelph in 1996. I completed high school here and graduated from the University of Guelph with a degree in Criminal Justice and Public Policy. I am a strong believer in contributing to my community through volunteering, and I have sat on the boards of Transition Guelph, Wellington Water Watchers, the People and Information Network (formerly the Guelph-Wellington Volunteer Centre) and the Grand River Conservation Authority.
Before being elected to Guelph City Council in 2018, I worked as a Community Engagement Coordinator at the City of Guelph. I’m also a former downtown Guelph small business owner.
Since being elected as a Ward 2 Councillor, I have focused on listening to my constituents, understanding your needs and concerns, and advocating for the issues you care most about.
I am an committed advocate for community and road safety, affordable living, greater accountability and communication from City Council, and protecting our green spaces. I believe that Guelph City Council needs to focus on providing the best value for your taxes, by focusing on providing adequate funding for essential municipal services.
I currently serve as Chair for the Corporate Services Committee, which includes the Finance, Human Resources and Information Technology departments. I also represent Guelph on the boards of directors of Wellington Dufferin Guelph Public Health and the Downtown Guelph Business Association.
Get Involved!
Help me stand up for safer streets and neighbourhoods, housing affordability, greater accountability and protecting our green spaces.
If you agree with my priorities and want an accessible, responsive and accountable Councillor, then I ask you to support my re-election campaign.
With your support I will be able to continue advocating for your issues at City Hall and representing everyone in Ward 2.
