Collecting stories of Mary Allen Neighbourhood Makers

When: Saturday May 2nd, 3:30 – 5:00 pm

Meeting Point: 15 George Street, W-K Mennonite Church

Walk Leader: Kae Elgie

Riffing on the famous Jane Jacobs quote “Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody” this Jane’s Walk asks: is the same true for neighbourhoods?

The 2001 Mary Allen Heritage Conservation District Study collected stories about the City Fathers [sic] and business people who lived in the area bounded by William, Willow, Union and King.

But what about the people who’ve made the current Mary Allen Neighbourhood … e.g. the people who turned the charred ruins of Eben Oliver Weber’s furniture factory into Mary Allen Park? the people who created Mary Allen’s Accessible Hallowe’en?

Come and share your Mary Allen stories!
