Good point: asking for “market rate” rent at empty units @Kitchener Market an issue. Clearly asking for too much if empty #janeswalkWR0

Great work James! Still sorry I missed it!
Thank you! We would have loved to have you too. And Trent or John Neufeld since House of Friendship did come up.
The number on Jane’s Walk varied a bit, but I counted 56 people at the Kitchener Market. Really fun walk.
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.
