About this event

  • 2 hours

What are the spaces / places in our community that help us meet people who aren’t like ourselves? How do our actions in public affect our ability to connect with strangers in a positive way? Why would we want to?


What are the forces that isolate us, and what action can we take to counter these forces? What should we demand of community leadership to help create opportunities for citizens to bridge the gaps and forge meaningful connections among citizens of diverse age, ability, background and circumstance?


There are lots and lots of questions that we can explore together, using some of the spaces in Downtown Kitchener as a guide for discussion. If nothing else, this will be a safe opportunity to meet someone that is not like yourself, and to enjoy the benefits that flow from that.


Walk Start and End Location: Heritage Clock Tower, Victoria Park, Kitchener

Frequently asked questions

What is a Jane's Walk?

Jane's Walk is 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.
