Go on a walk.

Or ride a bike instead.

"Jane’s Walk is a series of free neighbourhood walking tours that helps put people in touch with their environment and with each other, by bridging social and geographic gaps and creating a space for cities to discover themselves.  Since its inception in 2007, Jane’s Walk has happened in cities across North America, and is growing internationally.


Jane’s Walk honours the legacy and ideas of urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs who championed the interests of local residents and pedestrians over a car-centered approach to planning. Jane’s Walk helps knit people together into a strong and resourceful community, instilling belonging and encouraging civic leadership."

  1. Kevin's link to the City's website for more information isn't helpful. Do you have one that you could post up?

    1. Thanks. I'll let Kevin know his link is not effective.

    2. I sent a more useful link to the Jane's Walk people, but they did not do a good job of putting it up on their site. I am following up with them. Here it is:
