Explore the city this weekend with Jane’s Walk tours

Lace up a pair of comfy walking shoes and step into the heart of your community! 

This year’s local Jane’s Walk events run May 2-4 and will cover a variety of topics and spaces, including public art, parks, historic sites, neighbourhoods, nature and more. All events are free to attend, and some require registration via the Jane’s Walk website. 

Jane’s Walk is a global pedestrian-powered movement of tours led by residents within their communities. The annual event encourages residents to discover unseen, under-celebrated and unique areas of their city, and helps knit people together into stronger and more resourceful communities. The City of Lethbridge has participated in Jane’s Walk since 2011.
