Boozin’
Walk Leader(s): Mairin Loewen
Description of Walk leader(s) and/or why you are
leading this walk (optional):
My name is Mairin Loewen and
I’m the City Councillor for Ward 7. Bars, pubs, and other licensed
establishments are both loved and loathed in our community. This walk is an
opportunity to consider the role bars and alcohol have played in our City and
what their influence might be in the future.
Duration : 1 Hour for walk
Walk Description:
Saskatoon may have been
originally imagined as a Temperance Colony, but within years of its
establishment alcohol had officially moved to town. This walk will take
participants through Exhibition and Avalon, and along the way we’ll stroll by
several bars and talk about the way the way they’re regulated and how they
impact our community. The walk will conclude with an opportunity for
refreshments at an all-ages local establishment (on the patio, weather
permitting!). Don’t let the title fool you: this is a family-friendly walk!
