Jane’s Walk Toronto 2013
Friday May 3, 2013 – 1:20 pm | No Comment |

@ We'll miss you in Toronto, I really enjoyed your walk last year! Have fun in SF!

Every year since the first Jane’s Walk weekend in 2007, I’ve lead Jane’s Walks around Toronto.

This year, I’m in San Francisco and became the local Jane’s Walk City Organizer leading three walks this weekend:

  1. The Jane Jacobs Oakland Wiki Walk
  2. Retracing San Francisco’s Freeway Revolt
  3. Dark Age Ahead – The Wizard of O’Farrell Jane’s Walk

If you happen to be visiting the SF Bay Area, you’re invited. Just show up. Details at each link above.

The Toronto Page listing all the Jane’s Walks is as long and interesting as it’s ever been.

Here are some suggestions to kick off your list…

  1. The Early Bird Gets the Walk
  2. #WiTOpoli: The Past and Present of Toronto Women’s Activism and Engagement
  3. Crouching Tiger Hidden Station: How We Fuel Our City
  4. High Park Labyrinth
  5. Charles Sauriol Conservation Reserve
  6. The Islington Village Mural Walk
  7. “Oh Dear”: Unhinging North York’s Modesty
  8. War, Invasion & Occupation: Fort York and Toronto during the American Invasions and War of 1812

Happy Walking Toronto!
