Jane's Walk
May 2nd & 3rd from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Jane's Walk is an annual event taking place in Winnipeg, and cities across Canada and the United States. These free walks are led by volunteers who offer an insider's take on Winnipeg's vibrant and fascinating neighbourhoods. They are a celebration of urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs, and raise urban literacy by combining the simple act of walking with personal observations, urban history, planning, design, and civic engagement. Jane’s Walk is an exceptional opportunity for Winnipeggers to discover their city – both places they think they know well and places they want to explore.
Winnipeg’s first year (2008) was a huge success! Over 500 people came out for the 13 walks that were offered in Winnipeg -– in spite of snow on the second day! Nationally, over six thousand people took part in Jane’s Walk 2008, wandering through 141 neighbourhoods in eleven Canadian cities.
