 What We’re Gathering: Stories for the Jane’s Walk Book
|
|
| This year, countless people joined walks around the world, sometimes as leaders, sometimes as listeners, always as neighbours. Each conversation, each moment of wonder or connection, is a seed in the story of our cities. We’re collecting those seeds in a Jane’s Walk Book, a celebration of how walking brings people closer to each other and to the places they call home. |

|
| | If you’ve had a Jane’s Walk moment that you’d like to share, we’d love to hear it! |
