Present
The Guelph Mercury is published six days a week by Metroland Media Group, a subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The newspaper also publishes a free weekly roundup as well as various other special publications. A magazine, Guelph Life, was cancelled as a cost-cutting measure in 2009. The Guelph Mercury is one of few Torstar newspapers still to have their own presses since the Mercury's sister paper, the Waterloo Region Record is printed at another Torstar site, The Hamilton Spectator in Hamilton, Ontario. In February 2009, Torstar announced layoffs across the chain, including 13 newsroom staff at the Guelph Mercury. According to the announcement, copy editing and page production of the paper will be transferred to the Waterloo Region Record, reducing the editorial staff of the paper to two managers and 8 reporter–photographers.
Both the Guelph Tribune and Guelph Mercury are owned and published by Metroland Media Group but keep separate newsrooms and operations.
