Jane's Walk LogoThe first annual Jane's Walk <http://www.janeswalk.net>
gets off the ground this Saturday, May 5th.

What's Jane's Walk you ask? Let me give you two answers.

Jane's Walk is most simply a way to get out and discover something new about
the community you live in. Walk leaders will take you on a tour of the
neighbourhood as they know it, point out interesting features or introduce
you to the cultural highlights and tasty treats. Walks can range from an
educational lecture to experiential fun -- it all depends on whose leading
the walk.

The second answer is that Jane's Walk is a way for communities to take
control of their future. Take the time to learn about your community, find
out its strengths and use that information as a foundation for planning an
even better community.

This is the first year for Jane's. From concept to reality was about two
months, thanks to the support of the Maytree Foundation
<http://www.maytree.com/>  and Avana Capital Corporation. Next year, we hope
to expand the walk to communities across Ontario and beyond, and involve
residents associations and business improvement areas in designing community
walks and celebrations. Jane's Walk is a great way to engage people in
promoting and celebrating walkable, diverse communities!

If you live in Toronto, please check out www.janeswalk.net and put on your
walking shoes for Saturday 

See you on the streets,

Chris Winter
