Jane’s Walk 2015 (www.janeswalk.org) is approaching on May 1, 2, and 3, a Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
“Jane’s Walk is a movement of free, citizen-led walking tours inspired by Jane Jacobs. The walks get people to tell stories about their communities, explore their cities, and connect with neighbours.”
Organizers in the Metro Vancouver region are offering three orientation sessions (two are left) for potential Walk leaders and volunteers.
Thursday March 19th, New Westminster (completed)
Monday March 23, 5:30-6:30
Mt Pleasant Library – #1 Kingsway
Thursday April 16th, 5:30-6:30
Mt Pleasant Library – #1 Kingsway
They will go over tips for walks and volunteer opportunities and answer questions. This is an opportunity to connect with other walk leaders. For information, please write to vancouver@janeswalk.net.

dd Your Walk:
A reminder to anyone thinking of doing a walk to please add walk details to the Jane’s Walk website. You are encouraged to publish walk details as soon as possible so that your walk can be promoted.
The website has been updated this year, which means that all walks will have to be input by walk leaders. Here’s how:
• Go to www.Janeswalk.org
• Join or log-in
• Click on “Create a new walk in Vancouver” and enter walk details.
• You can “save your walk and return later” to add details later – this will let organizers know that you’re planning a walk.
• Once all details are entered, select “publish” and the walk will be public on the website.
If you need any assistance, please contact your City Organizer directly on the site or vancouver@janeswalk.net
City organizers will help you through the steps of getting your walk up & running.
