Would you like to see some examples of walk descriptions?
If you have had a walk in previous years, you can use the button below to fill in the form with the earlier information. You can then edit the entries as you wish before submitting the form.
What type of walk do you want to submit? Walks can be offered in one of three ways:
Enter your name and contact information. (Your contact information will not appear on the website, and we will not share it without your permission.)
Please enter a brief description of yourself, and why this neighbourhood or topic is important to you.
If you will have other guides working with you on this walk, please add their name(s) and contact information here.
Please provide a short title for your walk as well as the start location, end location, language, distance and duration. We recommend that walks be around 1 hour.
Please also provide a detailed description. Please include anything you would like participants to wear, bring with them, or be prepared to contribute, such as their own stories about the area.
We hope to have walks starting at a variety of times so that participants can take multiple walks if they wish. If multiple walks overlap, we may ask you to shift the time of your walk.
If you have suggestions for OC Transpo or parking, you can include those as well.
Please provide a short title for your walk as well as the starting point and end location, language, approximate distance the walk will cover, and approximate time it will take to walk the distance (including time spent at points of interest), along with a description of the topic or theme of your self-guided walk.
Please provide a short title for your walk as well as the start and end locations, language, distance, and viewing time or approximate read-through time, and a description of what your virtual walk will cover.
Please provide a description of the route you will be following. Please provide a detailed description of the route the walkers should follow. (A map would be very helpful. You can provide that to us later as a digital image and we will post it as part of your walk description.) Please provide a description of the route taken in your virtual walk.
Please use the map at the right to mark the location of your starting point. You can drag the red pin to the location, and you can re-centre the map as desired, as well as zoom in.
Is there anything about the tour route that might make it difficult for some people? Is the tour route accessible for people using strollers, wheelchairs, or scooters? (e.g., are there stairs, unpaved paths, etc.?)
If you have a friend or associate who would be able to help out with your walk as a marshal, please provide their name and contact information. It will help us immensely if you can provide marshals for your walk. You can specify up to two marshals.
