May 7 - Jane's Walk FREE 

Jane's Walk is an annual community-led tour that encourages people to share stories about their neighbourhood and discover unseen aspects of their community. Each year, we explore a new topic to encourage residents to teach us about the community they call home, while using walking as a way to connect with neighbours. 

This year, in partnership with Mental Health Awareness Week, Jane’s Walk is exploring how form follows function in Stony Plain’s Old Town North. Join the conversation at 1:00PM on Sunday, May 7, at the Stony Plain and Parkland Pioneer Museum to move your body and nurture your mind!
