JMA staff are looking forward to participating in Jane's Walk, the annual community-based approach to city building that uses volunteer-led walking tours to encourage people to rediscover the value of walking, and to observe, reflect, share, question and re-imagine the places in which they live, work and play.
A complete list of walks organzied in Cambridge, Guelph, Kitchener and Waterloo, can be found on the Jane's Walk Waterloo Region website.
Blazing the Trail in Natchez Woods
Take a stroll with Scott Clark of John MacDonald Architect on an approximately 3 km loop starting and finishing at the M.R. Good Family Trailway parking lot. Along the way, we’ll explore the local network of trails, as well as look at the area’s history and infrastructure, including the planned Ottawa St extension over the Grand River to Breslau. Hiking shoes or boots are recommended, as the route will include a meander through the single track trails of Natchez Woods. Unfortunately, the route is not accessible.
When: Saturday May 2nd, 4:00 – 5:00 pm
Meeting Point: M.R. Good Family Trailway parking lot (650 Otterbein Road)
For further reading, Spacing has an op-ed titled Walking the Lonely City, about how Jane's Walk sparks connection, which has certainly been our experience over the years.
