Jane’s Walk is a pedestrian-focused event that improves urban literacy by offering insights into local history, planning, design, and civic engagement through the simple act of walking and observing. It is named for Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) who was an urbanist and activist whose writings championed a fresh, community-based approach to understanding, organizing, designing, and building cities.I’m hosting another walk this year on Stittsville Main Street on Saturday, May 2. It starts at 4:00pm and lasts about 90 minutes. Spaces are limited and registration is recommended to help us plan: https://www.janeswalkottawa.ca/en/walks/janes-walk-ottawa-gatineau-2026/22117
This year’s theme is “Stories of Stittsville Main Street”. For more than 170 years, Stittsville has evolved from a small rural village into a vibrant suburban community. On this walk, we’ll explore how the function of Stittsville Main Street has changed over time through stories about its history, familiar landmarks, and distinctive architecture. We’ll also look ahead to the future and consider how the street may continue to evolve. As always, the walk will be a great opportunity to meet neighbours and experience Stittsville’s favourite street together.
Registration is also open for walks planned all over Ottawa from May 1-3, 2026. Check out the Jane’s Walk web site for info: https://www.janeswalkottawa.ca
