A successful Jane’s Walk along the Don

May 10, 2017

More than 20 people joined our Park Advocate team on Saturday, May 6th for a hugely successful and engaging Jane's Walk.

The rain held off and the group of walkers meandered along the don and neighbouring communities discussing the history and future of the Don Valley.

They even spotted a swan in Don’s most channelized and urban section. A big thank you to the team: Floyd, John, Paula, Jessica, Juliano and Rosanne who made it happen. Stay tuned for more upcoming walks and talks along the Don or check out our event page.

Then I went across town to walk the Lower Don with folks from @EvergreenCanada, who are helping restore the Don River Valley #janeswalkTO pic.twitter.com/dTMZdDBlLA

The river was high after the rains. Pathway to its right will soon link from Corktown Common all the way north to Pottery Rd! #janeswalkTO pic.twitter.com/MdekmEiSJM
