May 3 and 4, 2025 was an unforgettable Jane’s Walk weekend! We couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who helped make Jane’s Walk Ottawa-Gatineau a big success in 2025. This year, more than 1,500 people participated in 48 walks across the capital.
Had such a great time leading two walks for @janeswalkottawa.bsky.social this weekend: 1) a re-walk of my Unbuilt Ottawa walk, and 2) my brand new walk MANIFEST DISCREPANCY - Ottawa's complicated history with Americans. Both were big hits, and the weather?!? Mwah! Chef's kiss!
Thanks to the great @janeswalkottawa.bsky.social team, walk leaders, and walkers for another great #JanesWalk festival.

And then (bike) pedalled it to get to Maman in time for @joycuriosity.bsky.social Ottawa in Verse #JanesWalkOtt.
A beautifully affective way to explore Ottawa spaces in poetry.

Sunday I joined John Savage's #JanesWalkOtt Rockcliffe Park Indigenous Portage Route bypassing the falls, connecting the Kichi Sibi (Ottawa) river and Rideau River.
I somehow have never been to the Rockcliffe Park gazebo.
