First Gulf Hosts Jane's Walk At East Harbour

May 07, 2016

Marking the 100th anniversary since the famed urbanist was born, the annual Jane's Walk took place over the May 6th-8th weekend. These free, citizen-led walking tours were inspired by Jane Jacobs - an activist and urbanist whose writings and actions championed a fresh, community-based approach to city building. The walks encourage story telling, community involvement, and neighbourhood connection, and First Gulf was privileged to once again lead a tour of our site at the base of the DVP, East Harbour.

The event was a huge success again this year, with several community members braving the cloudy skies to tour the 60-acre site, ask questions about the planning process, and find out more about the largest land development in Canada.  Thank-you to everyone who joined us on Sunday - we're looking forward to participating again next year.
