Friends of Cedarvale's Community Walk

Cedarvale Park and Ravine is shaped by the people who use it and care for it! This Community Walk is a chance to discover the stories and people that make this place so special.

With 10 different stops along the way, different neighbours and community members will guide us through Cedarvale Park and Ravine, each sharing their perspective on what makes this place unique. The walk ends with a picnic in the park hosted by Friends of Cedarvale. We'll have some snacks and drinks to share, but feel free to bring your own!

🎉 This walk is also the launch of a new Friends of Cedarvale project: a Community of Practice bringing neighbours together in person from June to December to connect, share ideas, and think about the future of the park and ravine. At the walk, we'll share more about what's coming. If you're already curious, you can learn more about it and fill out our interest form.
