Home | Love and War A book of letters. I’ve titled it “Love and War – From the Front and the Home Fronts – The letters of Lt. Col. Dr. Charles Pinch & Lt. Nursing Sister Gretta Hope.” These letters span the period from 1940 to 1944. My father, a physician, joined the 11th Field Ambulance out of Guelph Ontario...

A beautiful Remembrance Day story from one of our members.

Letters of longing: sharing a Guelph couple’s love story during WWII Susan Pinch Brown says she learned so much about her parents through a collection of 476 letters dated between 1940 and 1944 that she turned into a book

On October 28, 2025, at 7:00PM CFUW Guelph will be hosting guest speaker, Dr. Emma Allen-Vercoe, Professor and Canada Research Chair in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, at the University of Guelph.

Dr. Allen-Vercoe is an internationally recognized expert in the rapidly evolving field of the human microbiome. She will be speaking to us on ‘The Human Gut Biome’. She obtained a BSc (Hons) in biochemistry in 1993 from the University of London, and her PhD in molecular microbiology through an industrial partnership with the Veterinary Laboratories Agency, conferred through the Open University in 1999.

In 2005 she chose to focus her research on the normal microbes of the human gut. As time went on, she broadened her interest to focus her research on the unculturable microbes. To assist in this, she developed a model gut system dubbed ROBOGUT. Dr. Allen-Vercoe moved her lab to the University of Guelph in 2007. She has again enlarged the scope of her research to include the gut biomes of insects such as bees. Her byline is “We are the spaceship for our microbes”.
