Jane’s Walk celebrates the ideas and legacy of urbanist Jane Jacobs by getting people out exploring their neighbourhoods and meeting their neighbours. Free walking tours held on the first weekend of May each year are led by locals who want to create a space for residents to talk about what matters to them in the places they live and work.

Stonebridge: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Walk Title: Stonebridge: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Walk Description:
Stonebridge, a new neighbourhood on the south end of Saskatoon, is a combination of the Good, the Bad and downright Ugly. See how the worst features of urban design—cars, concrete, and consumption—live on in this neighbourhood as if there were no tomorrow, as if everything we have learned about climate change, ecological footprint, over consumption and convivial cities had been totally ignored (almost). We’ll keep looking for the silver lining and try not to make it too much of a bummer!
Walk Leader:
Paul Hanley is environmental columnist with the StarPhoenix and author of ELEVEN, a book about the future of the planet. He lives near the Stonebridge neighbourhood and has watched its development with interest (and horror.).
Start/Finish:
St Martin's Church Parking Lot
Bus:
Number 6 Broadway bus stops at Wilson and Clarence.
Parking:
On street for free
