Join Jane’s Walk Ottawa-Gatineau on Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4 to stroll and learn about history, celebrate culture, and connect with community. Jane’s Walk is an annual festival of free, community-led walking conversations inspired by the late urbanist, activist, and journalist Jane Jacobs. Jane’s Walk festivals take place in hundreds of cities around the world on the first weekend of May. These walking tours encourage people to share stories about their communities, discover unseen aspects of their city, and use walking as a way to connect with neighbours.
