Jane’s Walk Winnipeg
We believe that sharing a walk (or ride or roll) is a powerful tool for community change, and we hope that you'll take part!
Jane's Walk is an annual festival of free, citizen-led walking conversations inspired by citizen activist Jane Jacobs. On the first weekend of May every year, Jane's Walk festivals take place in hundreds of cities around the world. Jane's Walks encourage people to share stories about their neighbourhoods and discover unseen aspects of their communities. Celebrating Jane's ideas and principles, we encourage walking together to create connections between creativity and community, to engage experiences as both observers and participants, and for shared reflection, questioning, and re-imagining.
All Jane's Walk virtual maps are accessible throughout Jane's Walk weekend and beyond. Choose a map and head out on your own. Come back and try a new route anytime!
