JANE’S WALK | VIRTUAL
May 7, 8 & 9 | Anytime! | FREE
Join us for a pre-recorded guided walking tour that can be participated in from your very own neighbourhood. This guided walk will encourage you to see your surroundings in new and curious ways, while sharing the rich history of the Southern Alberta Art Gallery and its connections with our community. We encourage you to share your walk on social media with #janeswalk and tag @thesaag!
On the first weekend of May every year, Jane’s Walk festivals take place in hundreds of cities around the world. These events encourage people to share stories about their neighbourhoods, discover unseen aspects of their communities, and use walking as a way to connect with their neighbours.
Celebrating the legacy and ideas of urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs, Jane’s Walk promotes walkable neighbourhoods and cities planned for and by people. Jane’s Walk encourages an environment where people choose to walk, not merely as a recreational option, but as a viable and enjoyable way to carry out basic everyday tasks, improve health and increase social cohesion.
