Bousfielders had a great time attending a number of Jane’s Walks last weekend all around the city. From Little India to Bathurst & Harbord, it was fun to run into fellow urbanists and continue to learn even more about our neighbourhoods and communities.   Walk With Us was the 2025 theme of Jane’s Walk Toronto —an open invitation to explore, connect, and share stories through walking. Centered on belonging, curiosity, connection, and change, it invites everyone to reimagine the city together.   Thank you to all of the organizers and volunteers for the walks!
