In Guelph, the city is characterized by hills – drumlins, shaped by the glaciers. Many of these drumlins, due to their prominence, have been topped by important buildings and landmarks – like the Church of Our Lady, and Johnston Hall at the University of Guelph.

The Westhill Village area of Guelph is the neighbourhoods of streets that enter off and include Ferman Dr. Westhill Village is centered on the Westwood Hill Drumlin.

This neighbourhood was established in the early 1980's on a former dairy farm.
