“On the first weekend of May every year, Jane’s Walk festivals take place in hundreds of cities around the world. Jane’s Walks encourage people to share stories about their neighbourhoods, discover unseen aspects of their communities, and use walking as a way to connect with their neighbours.” (From the Janes Walk website)
Please see the Janes’ Walk schedule for walks in Ottawa and Gatineau this year. Included is a walk near our neighbourhood about the Booth St. complex redevelopment, which asks how “Heritage Evolution Will Impact Our Urban Environments.” A number of other walks are also nearby, including in the Glebe and Little Italy.
