Jane’s Walk is a global event of volunteer free walking tours held in May each year. Since its inception, Jane's Walk has existed in over 500 cities worldwide and can be used as a participatory tool for communities to lead local conversation at any time, anywhere. The global initiative of Jane's Walk is inspired by activist and urban studies scholar, Jane Jacobs.

Jane’s Walks provide opportunities for people to tell the stories of the spaces where they live, work and play while also building new relationships within their communities and neighbourhoods. Jane's Walks are meant to initiate conversations about place and civic engagement while also sharing new narratives about how neighbourhoods are activated by the people within them.

Jane's Walk has been used as a tool by Business Improvement Associations, and Neighbourhood Associations to raise advocacy and awareness on local issues, highlight local businesses and hidden gems and create space for conversation between residents.
