If
you like to get outside and you’re enthusiastic about learning about
the city you live in, come along on a free neighbourhood walking tour
with Jane’s Walk Ottawa on May 3 and 4!
The
weekend-long festival of free walking tours is held to celebrate the
work of urban thinker Jane Jacobs, who promoted livable cities,
street-life vitality and attractive, uplifting places where people feel
safe.
With
walks that offer insights into local history, planning, design, and civic engagement, there is
a walk for everyone.
A
typical Jane’s Walk Ottawa tour is given once during the weekend, takes
about an hour, and covers around one to two kilometres.
JANE’S TALK
The festival of walking tours kicks off with a night of storytelling for the 2014 Jane’s Talk on Thursday, May 1.
The theme for the event is "Neighbourhood Narratives" and it will take place at Arts Court, 2 Daly Ave., starting at 7 p.m.
CBC's Adrian Harewood will host the event.
