Jane’s Walk London

Under: Events, Walks 25 April 2010 2 comments

Jane’s Walk will be taking place in London on May 2, 2010.

What is Jane’s Walk?

Jane’s Walk is a series of free neighbourhood walking tours that helps put people in touch with their environment and with each other, by bridging social and geographic gaps and creating a space for cities to discover themselves.

It’s a thriving Canadian innovation that’s gone global. Last year 46 cities took part across North America. This year Jane’s Walks will span 60 cities worldwide (approx 30 in Canada, 25 in the U.S, five internationally) with some 350 walking tours on offer. New Jane’s Walk partnerships this year include Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Chattanooga, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Victoria and …. London, ON.

Best of all, all Jane’s Walk tours are given and taken for free.

For more details check out www.janeswalklondon.com

In participation with Jane’s Walk London we have decided to schedule another May photo walk taking place on May 2nd. Although we realize that this is happening not too long after our last photowalk and very close to our joint Photo Walk with PodCamp London we thought it was important to celebrate the City of London on May 2nd with the many other walkers that will be out that day.

With that said, here are the details of the photo walk happening for Jane’s Walk London:

Date: Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Time: 5:30pm – 7:30pm

Location: The Forest behind Bresica University Collete (at the University of Western Ontario)

Starting Location: Bresica University College (See Map)

Route: Marked in GREEN on the map

Ending Location: Bresica University College

Parking: Typically the parking lot shown on the map is open and free during the summer (from past experience), however this cannot be guaranteed and as such you should be prepared to find and pay for parking if you are driving. You can CLICK HERE to check out Western’s Parking Services.

This walk will take us through the forest and on trails that aren’t paved so we suggest that proper footwear be worn.

As usual, if you have any questions or comments just post them below.
