Jane’s Walk Winnipeg

What is a Jane’s Walk?

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.

Winnipeg Walks took place May 2nd through the 4th, 2025. Click here to see the full list of all of the walks that took place in 2025.

“There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.”
