My wife Fizza organized a #JanesWalkTO on keeping Scarborough local. We visited unique spots like Ruposhi Bangla and it was the perfect venue to talk to participants about the need to support local businesses as Scarborough develops, so they aren't replaced by chains.

📍 Trillium Park, Ontario Place #Toronto

I adore this park, and it’s always a delight to share the gems and details around this small but mighty space.

Special to be joined by landscape architect Walter Kehm and his stories - our 3rd edition of this stroll!

Two people kneeing by the ground creating chalk drawings with stencils of moccasins. The stencils are from Moccasin Identifier Project. A group of people standing on a wide paved path by a rock and boulder wall in a park, surrounded by evergreen trees. A group of people walking along a wide paved path in a park with carved moccasins on a slanted wall on one side, and mixed trees on the other. A group of people standing around a large boulder in a waterfront park. The boulder has a hole in it, through which the CN Tower can be viewed.

Finally wrapping up at Rosedale Art School property where a few remnants of history remain.

And final thanks to @bobgeorgiouto.bsky.social for a great Janes Walk.

It time for a Jane's Walk with @bobgeorgiouto.bsky.social

If your not following Bob on here, you really should.

We're discovering the history of old Castle Frank today.

I'm doing a Jane's Walk again, finally! It's the same one I did in 2019, when it worked really well! Can I pull it off again? Let's find out, shall we?

Sunday May 3, 3:30, near Osgoode Station.

Walk submissions are still open — deadline extended to April 27.

This year’s concept: the foot-loop — a continuous path connecting places, people, and stories across the city.

The city isn’t linear. Neither are our walks.

There’s still time to create yours.

Natalia Dankovtseva led my last Jane's Walk, "Cabbagetown walk with a medical twist". She highlighted everything from the location of 19th century doctors' homes and hospitals to the efforts to deal with the unhealthy Don to the cemeteries of the neighborhood. #toronto #janeswalkto #cabbagetown

The #BeardedProf416 led my last walk Saturday, "Toronto's Cultural Corridor", in which he made a very compelling case for #JohnStreet—from the CN Tower to The Grange—as a well-established and vital corridor of Canadian consequence. #toronto #janeswalkto

"A History Lesson of Riverdale Park" was a great presentation of this Don-spanning park, exploring how it became what it is out of Toronto's first zoo, the Don Jail, and a literal garbage heap. #toronto #janeswalkto #riverdalepark #cabbagetown #riverdale #donriver

"Allan Gardens: Justice in the Park" was the second walk of the day and a good one, exploring Allan Gardens as a locus of protest for all sorts of groups (a suffragette mock parliament, queer and black protests against police, a new permanent indigenous presence). #toronto #janeswalkto #allangardens

Yesterday, advocates to save the Science Centre were out in full force, walking the West Don Valley with @SaveOSC and Lost Rivers Toronto for @JanesWalkTO. Don Valley East is anything but “sleepy”, and we’re not backing down to protect it.
