Hi all,
Please come join me on Saturday May 3rd at 1 p.m. I will be leading a Jane's Walk covering the incredible history of Byron Avenue and it's linear park. We'll walk from Holland Avenue to Kirkwood Avenue, covering all the history from the farming era, through streetcar trolleys and all the "what ifs" of proposals for the street and park space over the last 70+ years!
You must register in advance! Please go to: https://www.janeswalkottawa.ca/en/walks/janes-walk-ottawa-gatineau-2025/22009, and add your name on the right. (Just a warning, you will end up at a different spot from where we start - it's not a loop, but rather a straight line west along Byron).
I also recommend making a day of it, and taking part in the "Heritage Properties of Hintonburg" tour being offered by the amazing Hintonburg Community Association's History and Heritage Committee! (more info at https://www.janeswalkottawa.ca/en/walks/janes-walk-ottawa-gatineau-2025/22016). (I'm not a part of it, but simply suggesting you take part in this walk too!). It starts at 10 a.m. and runs for 90 minutes, giving you the perfect amount of time to have lunch in between along Wellington West (Shawarma Al Mouna!) before joining up with my walk at the corner of Byron and Holland at 1!
Thanks very much and hope to see you there on Saturday May 3rd!
