The City of Lethbridge will host the annual Jane’s Walk festival this weekend and next. It is a global movement of neighbour-led walking tours inspired by urbanist Jane Jacobs.
“The purpose of the walk is to encourage people to get out on the streets of their neighbourhoods to discover unseen, under-celebrated and unique stories about their city. Through the simple act of walking together and discussing what makes a neighborhood, Jane’s Walk helps knit people together into stronger and more resourceful communities,” reads a news release from the city.
The free event will feature walks and bike rides through the city, focused on various topics including birding, water, cycling, trees and history.
This Saturday will kick off the event with a bike ride showcasing bike infrastructure downtown.
A full list of events can be found on the Get involved Lethbridge website.
