Jane’s Walk: The Elmira Water Crisis, 25 years later

Join us for a Jane’s Walk in Elmira on Sunday, May 4—2:00 to 3:30. Sponsored by TWEEC (Township of Woolwich Environmental Enhancement Committee), the walk will focus on the 1989 Elmira water crisis and what has been done in the 25 years since to reduce the water contamination in Elmira. 

We’ll gather at 2:00 in the Woolwich Minor Soccer building at the corner of First and Arthur St. (southeast corner) to review and discuss what happened in 1989 and then walk east along First St. to see monitoring and extraction wells, as far as the Creek and the south end of the Chemtura chemical plant.  The walk will continue north along Union St., west up Park Ave., and south on Queen St., finishing back at the soccer building. TWEEC member Susan Bryant will lead the walk. 

Jane’s Walk celebrates the legacy of urbanist Jane Jacobs by getting people out exploring their neighbourhoods and meeting their neighbours. Free walking tours held on the first weekend of May each year are led by locals who want to create a space for residents to talk about what matters to them in the places they live and work. Since its inception in Toronto in 2007, Jane’s Walk has expanded rapidly. In May of 2013, more than 800 walks were held in over 100 cities in 22 countries worldwide.
