Jane's Walk led by Nathan Binnema

Description: "Old Strathcona Eastside- Evolving" will trace the impact that community organizing has had on the neighbourhood, as well as on the development of the city as a whole, linking local activism to Jane Jacobs' famous actions to stop freeway proposals in New York and Toronto. Along the way, we will also take note of some features of historical interest, and visit a new cohousing development. We will wind up at a commercial node, where new businesses have come to occupy old buildings."

Location: At Tubby Bateman Park (88th Ave and 97th St). Gather around the "Buffalo Mountain" art installation

Accessibility: Start & finish are accessible by Bus, and Bike with a walk to the start. On street parking is available.
