Today was the first day Edmontonians could register to take a Jane's Walk - during the May festival that celebrates the life & legacy of urbanist Jane Jacobs. I'll be leading a walk of my own, taking adventurers on a walk down Jasper Avenue East, in the footsteps of that infamous Edmonton reprobate, Moishe "Two Gun" Cohen. More about him in the coming days - but just look at all the tours on offer this year! https://janewalksyeg.wordpress.com/ #yeg #Edmonton #JanesWalk #JanesWalkyeg #yegheritage
But...my walk in the footsteps of Moishe Two-Gun Cohen is just ONE of many great Jane's Walks taking place all across Edmonton next month. You can register for a free walk now -whether you want to know more about the evolution of Millwoods, or explore the new Indigenous spiritual centre near Whitemud Creek or tour the U of A Campus or explore thriving 124th Street, there is a walk for you! https://janewalksyeg.wordpress.com/ #JanesWalk #JanesWalkYeg #Edmonton #yeg #yegheritage
A fantastic Coronation morning Jane’s Walk of Coronation Park, with a fabulous and engaged group of walkers. Issa (and I) had a great time. I think our guests did too. #JanesWalk #Coronation #CoronationPark #Edmonton #yeg #JanesWalkYeg #RossSheppard #Shep #SenateofCanada #IssaofEdmonton #DogsofMastodon
Also? 18 minutes till the start of my Jane’s Walk tour of Coronation Park! Come join us! We start in front of Ross Sheppard High School on 111th Avenue, just east of Westmount Mall. #yeg #Edmonton #JanesWalk #JanesWalkyeg
Saturday is Coronation Day, and I’ll be marking the occasion with a Jane’s Walk walking tour of Coronation Park. Come join us! (The Eventbrite may say we’re full, but I’m a rebel. Open to all comers.) Here, for inspiration, is a video tour of the park that I created back in 2020,m https://youtu.be/tuF42T6xvGE #JanesWalk #JanesWalkyeg #Edmonton #yeg #Coronation #CoronationDay #yegheritage #SenateofCanada
Sen. Paula Simons' 2021 Jane's Walk in Coronation Park, Edmonton
Two years ago, Jane’s Walks in Edmonton were cancelled by COVID - so, I did a tour of Coronation Park via video! Here that little movie from 2020. A lot has changed in the park since then. Join me on my in person walking tour at 9 AM next Saturday, May 6, to see what’s new. The weather forecast looks great. Bonus points if you wear a Coronation Day hat! https://youtu.be/tuF42T6xvGE #JanesWalk #JanesWalkyeg #Edmonton #yeg #yegheritage #architecture #Coronation #modernism #Woodcroft #NorthGlenora
Sen. Paula Simons' 2021 Jane's Walk in Coronation Park, Edmonton
Jane’s Walks take place the first week in May, all around the world, in honour of urban advocate and theorist Jane Jacobs. Edmonton has a great variety of free guided walks coming up, all over the city - exploring our architecture, our history and our communities. I’ll be leading one myself, through Coronation Park, at 9 AM Saturday May 6th - Coronation Day! https://janewalksyeg.wordpress.com/ #Edmonton #yeg #JanesWalk #JanesWalkyeg #yegheritage #Coronation #architecture #SenateofCanada
