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.

The Thompson family will soon be getting a new garage door — but until the new door comes, their older one will showcase a piece of Canadian art history.
“We have a garage door that was busted, so I figured we should do something for the summer,” says Anna Thompson.
That something is a paint-by-numbers version of West Wind, a painting by famed Canadian artist Tom Thomson. The original painting, which depicts a tree amid rocks and water, was Thomson’s final work before his sudden death in 1917.
Thompson says the work of art will stay up until the garage door is replaced.
“Hopefully before Christmas,” Anna says.
