Community Walks help knit people together into a strong and resourceful community, instilling belonging and encouraging civic leadership. The Walks are successful and popular tours – a great mix of learning, creativity, fun and interactivity. The walks encourage participants to take a more active role in shaping the places and cities where they live.
