Ward 9 Jane's Walk Roundup!

Jane’s Walk 2023 is taking place May 5, 6 + 7. Calgarians of all ages are invited to participate in free walking tours throughout the city!

A global event inspired by and in honour of Jane Jacobs, an urbanist and activist who championed a fresh, community-based approach to city building. Jane believed that in order to properly observe how people, through their actions and interactions, create communities with a strong sense of belonging, we need to get out and walk the city.

Below is a roundup of the Jane’s Walks scheduled throughout Ward 9. Register today for walks in your neighbourhood.

YCAP teaches at-risk, unhoused youth (ages 15-29) employment skills in the culinary field - youth in the program receive 9-12 weeks of on-site training from Red Seal chefs, free of charge. A youth counsellor is also available to provide support with mental health, employment, housing, and to help teach important life skills.
