Winnipeg’s first year (2008) was a huge success! Over 500 people came out for the 13 walks that were offered in Winnipeg – in spite of snow on the second day! Nationally, over six thousand people took part in Jane’s Walk 2008, wandering through 141 neighbourhoods in eleven Canadian cities – Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Guelph, London, Toronto, Thornbury, Ottawa, Charlottetown and Halifax plus Salt Lake City Utah.

Be part of Jane’s Walk 2009 ! This series of neighbourhood strolls, given and taken for free on the first weekend of May, offers an insider’s take on this city’s vibrant and fascinating neighbourhoods. The walks showcase great Winnipeg neighbourhoods in a new and exciting manner while celebrating the legacy of urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs. Jane’s Walk is an exceptional opportunity for Winnipeggers to discover their city – both places they think they know well and places they want to explore. We welcome you to lead a walk as part of this event – in a Winnipeg neighbourhood that you’re involved with or where you live, work or play. We already have 8+ walks confirmed with more in the hopper, ranging in neighbourhoods from the West End to Transcona to Gilbert Park to St. Boniface and more.
