Each year, Jane's Walk events are hosted across the world on the first weekend of May and focus on getting people out exploring their neighbourhoods and meet- ing their neighbours through free walking tours led by locals. Sponsored by the Mait- land Trail Association, last year marked the successful first year a Jane's Walk was held in Goderich. More than 75 participants explored the downtown core learning more about The Square's history, down- town living, urban vegeta- ble gardening, architecture, accessibility, and youth usage of The Square. In an effort to embrace the community -led nature of Jane's work, the group organizing this year's walk would like to invite individ- uals to lead walks based on their own passions and interests in their commu- nity. Confirmed to date is a back -alley photography tour of the downtown core, with more exciting ideas to soon be presented. Ideally, walks should be accessible for everyone and will take place anytime during the May 2-4 weekend. If there is something you would like to share about your community or neighbourhood, please e-mail janeswalkgoderich@gmail.com or call 519-524-5141. Please let us know of your interests and ideas by March 31 so we can finalize preparations for this engaging event.
