We'll set off from the Famous Five Statue. The closest C-Train station is City Hall, and the nearest cross street is 8th Avenue SE @ 1st Street SE.
We'll walk at a comfortable pace and make several stops. Our journey will take us mostly backwards in time (but away from the west-setting sun) from the early 20th C to the 1870s. We'll head north on Centre Street past Calgary's last official "red light district" before heading east along the south bank of the Bow toward Fort Calgary.
After a quick rest stop at the Simmons Building, we'll turn south to walk through the East Village. Once we get to "Whiskey Row" (a.k.a. 9th Ave SE), we'll turn west and make our way back to within a block of where we started.
COST:
Pay What You Can donation to Shift Calgary.
Suggested minimum donation is $20, but no one will be turned away. All are welcome!
DURATION:
Approx. 2.5 hours | DISTANCE: Roughly 4km | LEVEL 1: Easy | GROUP SIZE: 12
