Walk and talk with your neighbours as you discover your city. On the weekend of June 20 and 21st, join a Jane's Walk and explore Owen Sound in a way you may never have before.

Jane's Walks are free, citizen-led walking tours that take place all over the world, inspired by celebrated urban-thinker Jane Jacobs.

On Saturday, at 2 p.m. Maryann Thomas will meet walkers at the Owen Sound Farmers' Market for a two-hour "curation" of her 30 years of observing the evolution of the downtown.

Aly Boltman will lead the Sunday tour, meeting walkers at the site of the former Queen's Hotel at 8th Street East and 3rd Avenue at 2 p.m. Hers will be a downtown east side tour, "marking early Jewish roots through contemporary Jewish routes".
