[box]What is a Jane\u2019s Walk?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jane\u2019s Walks are free, locally organized walking tours, in which people get together to explore, talk about and celebrate their neighbourhoods. Where more traditional tours are a bit like walking lectures, a Jane\u2019s Walk is more of a walking conversation. Leaders share their knowledge, but also encourage discussion and participation among the walkers.<\/p>\n

A Jane\u2019s Walk can focus on almost any aspect of a neighbourhood, and on almost any topic you can think of.Walks can be serious or funny, informative or exploratory; they can look at the history of a place, or at what\u2019s happening there right now. \u00a0Anyone can lead a walk \u2014 because everyone is an expert on the place where they live!<\/p>\n

Jane\u2019s Walk is a series of neighbourhood walking tours. Named after urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs, Jane’s Walks are held annually during the first weekend in May to coincide with her birthday [\/box]<\/p>\n

More information on all the walks that were organized in Abbotsford as part of the Jane’s Walk series can be found here: http:\/\/janeswalk.org\/canada\/abbotsford\/<\/a><\/p>\n

See you next year!<\/p>\n
