Jane’s Walk with Park People: Exploring Ottawa's Parks
In collaboration with Park People, Jane’s Walk is offering two walks celebrating our local parks, with a focus on the habitat parks provide for living things ranging from the macroscopic (trees, birds, and other wildlife) to the microscopic (the tiny and the microbial). Parks can play a vital role in providing shared spaces for all people and are an important resource for recreation, relaxation, and contemplation.
Jane’s Walk Ottawa-Gatineau is the proud recipient of a 2025 TD Park People Grant. Park People offer these grants to promote community events in publicly accessible green spaces that encourage use and foster ongoing care and protection of these spaces. The events are focused on environmental education, sustainability, or stewardship that bring people together. Learn more about Park People here and about the TD Park People grants here.
The walks are listed below.
Note: Jane's Walk is offering other walks this fall. See our Walks for OAW 2025.

Indigenous Land Acknowledgement
While you walk, we encourage you to think about and acknowledge the land where we live, work, and walk. The Ottawa-Gatineau region is the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe people. The Algonquin People have inhabited and cared for these lands for millennia and we express our gratitude to and respect for them.
