1. Looking west on King E., Kitchener
    What follows is a look at my tour of east downtown Kitchener that I gave as a part of the annual Jane’s walk with the help of Storify.
    Here is the CTV Kitchener coverage of Jane’s Walks featuring my tour of east downtown Kitchener. It may not look like it but trust me and wait out the commercial.

  5. Learn more about the Power of 10 and how it helps identify and create successful public spaces.

    Good point: asking for “market rate” rent at empty units @Kitchener Market an issue. Clearly asking for too much if empty #janeswalkWR

    1. Thanks for the count! We were at 40 at Ray of Hope’s Community Centre so I knew we had more than that to start but I didn’t get a chance to count before then. I was impressed by the size of the crowd leaving Speaker’s Corner.
