May 1st, 2nd, & 3rd, 2015: Jane’s Walk Festival Vancouver

We would like to invite you to lead a Jane’s Walk in the 2015 Jane’s Walk Festival!

As you know, Jane’s Walk is a global movement of free, locally led walking tours inspired by iconic writer and urban activist Jane Jacobs. The walks help get people to explore their city through walking conversations about what matters to them. In 2014, there were more than 1,000 walks in more than 130 cities around the world.

Lead another Jane’s Walk in your community (or get involved in other ways).

Jane’s Walk is about sharing the stories that bring communities together. We invite you to lead another walk this year! You can lead the same walk as last year, or design a new one. Use what you learned from the walk route you used last year to make your walk even better! Register your walk online at http://www.janeswalk.org/canada/vancouver.

Not interested in leading a walk again? Here are other ways you can get involved:

    1. Volunteer during the festival as a photographer, crowd manager, etc. Reply to this email for more details.
    2. Encourage your friends and colleagues to lead a Jane’s Walk. Below, we’ve included a sample call out (below) that you could send to your networks.

 

  • Attend the festival on May 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and encourage your community to do the same. You can find information about the festival on our website at www.janeswalk.org/canada/vancouver.

 

 

OPEN CALL FOR WALK LEADERS

May 1st, 2nd, & 3rd, 2015: Jane’s Walk Festival

If you have a fun, informative, unusual way of looking at your neighbourhood, then Jane’s Walk wants you to host a walking conversation through your community!

Jane’s Walk is a global movement of free, locally led walking tours inspired by Jane Jacobs. The walks get people to explore their cities and connect with neighbours.

Organizing a Jane’s Walk is easy. It simply involves planning a route, thinking through the stories, places, people and ideas you want to hear and talk about, and then registering it online at janeswalk.org.

The Jane’s Walk team is here to help! Don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.
