About the Walk

Jane's Walk is a pedestrian-focused event that offers insights into local history, planning, design, and civic engagement through the simple act of walking and observing. The walks are given by local people who care passionately about where they live, work, and play.

The Flour Mill neighbourhood is blending its historical past with efforts to improve infrastructure, public safety, and community engagement. We’ll look at the changes through the lens of Jane Jacobs.

This event will have multiple stops as we we learn about what's happening in the Flour Mill neighbourhood. This is more of a tour style walk.
