Rosina's Shopkeeper's Project: Jane's Walks in Bloorcourt comes to Anarres!

Named in honour of longtime shopkeeper Rosina Peluso, the Rosina Shopkeeper's Project awards long overdue public recognition for all our Bloor Street West shopkeepers and services through the creation of plaques on the tree guards for long time shopkeepers, churches and services, two community Jane’s Walks along Bloor and a community party. Jane's Walks are international walking tours lead by local volunteers the first weekend in May.

Your invited to attend the walks and party!
