Jane's Walk led by Urban Designer, Erik Backstrom

Description: Edmonton's heritage landscape is typically painted in the bold strokes of red brick, remnants of our pre-World War I past. But a fascinating counterpoint exists in Bonnie Doon: a collection of mid-century buildings defined by their lighter, buff brick facades. What sparked this architectural departure? What does it reveal about this chapter in the city's development? Join planner and planning historian Erik Backstrom for this walk, which will include a tour of the architectural gem that is the Bonnie Doon Stake Centre.
