The Breezy Breakfast is a weekly community gathering focused on raising awareness and sharing ideas about important issues that concern residents of Guelph and beyond. From 2016 to 2020 this weekly gathering took place at the Breezy Corners Restaurant in downtown Guelph. Since the restaurant closed at the onset of the pandemic, the gatherings have moved online using the ZOOM platform, expanding our mandate beyond those able to attend in person, and it’s these meetings that will be shared in audio form on CFRU.
