Take a Jane's Walk along a 100-Year Fence

Local historian Joanne Doucette has just announced she will be leading a Jane's Walk next month, in celebration of the Craven Road fence's 100th anniversary! Titled "Erie Terrace to Craven Road: Tiny Houses, Tall Tales and a 100-Year Fence," the walk will begin near the foot of the road, and will travel northward through the ages to finish at Danforth Avenue.

Meet at the corner of Woodward Avenue and Queen Street East
