Jane’s Walks took place in Toronto and New York last year; this year they’ll be held in several places across Canada, including Halifax, on May 3 and 4. Join Jane Kansas and Jane Wright on Sunday, May 4th starting at 2 pm and consider leading a walk as well! Jane’s Walk celebrates the legacy of urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs with a series of free neighbourhood strolls that emphasize the importance of walkable and diverse cities and neighbourhoods. Lead a tour as part of this event in an area where you live, work or play. 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. If you like, you could share the guiding duties with a few other resourceful friends or colleagues. Jane’s Walks are meant to be fun, engaged and participatory – everyone’s got a story and they’re usually keen to share it. All tours are given, and taken, for free.
