Welcome to Jane’s Walk – a series of free neighbourhood walking tours happening in eight Canadian cities May 3 & 4, 2008. The walks celebrate the legacy and ideas of urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs who championed a fresh, community-based approach to city building.
Jane’s Walk is accessible, fun and free – it’s about getting out and walking, observing your city, meeting your neighbours and discovering new areas. Just consult our ‘Jane’s Walk city pages’ to find out more about the scheduled tours.
Leading a walking tour simply involves planning a route, thinking through the stories, places and people you want to talk about, then walking participants through it – you decide what’s important. For details on being a tour guide, click here.
So far, Jane’s Walk has happened in Toronto and New York in 2007, and this year will include Calgary, Charlottetown, Guelph, Halifax, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg. We hope you can lace up your walking shoes and join the fun this year in your city.
