Jane's Walk is a festival of free neighbourhood walking tours that help put people in touch with their city, the things that happen around them, the built environment, the natural environment, and especially with each other. The walks are given by local people who care passionately about where they live, work, and play. Jane's Walk is a pedestrian-focused event that improves urban literacy by offering insights into local history, planning, design, and civic engagement through the simple act of walking and observing. Organizing for Ottawa walks is now underway for the May 4 & 5 weekend! Do you want to lead a walk this year? Sign up before April 12. Website: www.janeswalkottawa.ca/en/walks/current
Leading a tour involves:
- choosing a topic or theme
- planning a route with points of interest
- thinking through the stories, places, and people you want to talk about
