County of Wellington

The County of Wellington is a special place for more than 90,000 residents who call the municipality home. Whether it’s the rich, agricultural and rural lands that grow fresh and local foods, the beautiful and historic towns that are home to several of the top festivals in Ontario, or the proximity and access to major urban markets, the County of Wellington provides an outstanding quality of life and an ideal location for residents and families alike. The County also offers a modest cost of living and excellent schools. Formed in 1840, the County of Wellington encompasses more than 2,600 square kilometres and is approximately an hour’s drive west of Toronto. It includes the Towns of Minto and Erin, and the Townships of Puslinch, Centre Wellington, Mapleton, Wellington North and Guelph-Eramosa. The County of Wellington has been widely honoured in the recent past. Earlier this year, the County’s Human Resources (HR) Department was presented with the Employer of Distinction Award by the Human Resources Professionals Association [Guelph and District Chapter]. Last year, the County was recognized nationally for having the Best Health and Wellness Strategy at the Canadian HR Awards and for being awarded as Canada’s Safest Employer by Canadian Occupational Safety. In 2012, the County of Wellington was designated as one of 64 “Safe Communities” by Safe Communities Canada, and in 2008, Wellington County was recognized as one of Canada’s Top Employers by Maclean’s Magazine. As an organization, the County offers diverse opportunities to work in our community, such as: a Long Term Care Home, 14 Library Branches, Roads and Solid Waste Services, Planning and Development, Green Legacy Tree Nursery, and Social Services, which includes Ontario Works, Child Care Services and Housing.
