Jane’s Walk

On Sunday May 3, members of the MDCA and community participated in the 3^rd annual Jane’s walk.  This walk celebrates the life and philosophy of renowned Toronto based urban planner – Jane Jacobs.   This year there were two walks in Mount Dennis. The Secret Garden and Riverbank tour included a visit to one of Toronto’s oldest private cemeteries with a spectacular view of the Humber River, through to the peaceful riverbank and ponds below, a peak at a secret garden built over the years by an anonymous newcomer.  Walk the Talk gave participants a unique birds-eye view of what remains of the former Kodak factory (once employing 4,000 people), now the subject of passionate public discussion regarding possible redevelopment of these 50-plus acres.  On both walks there were sneak peaks of the planned Mount Dennis Community Theatre project.
