 We had so much fun at our first-ever Jane's Walk. We had 50 fantastic participants join us to learn from the studios that make everything in-house. We visited women's clothier Comrags, jewellery maker Fredrick Prince, design studio Bookhou, leather designer Hide, chocolatier Odile, and the new microbrewery The Six Brewing Co. The Jane's Walk explored the studio spaces, learned about the cost of producing in Canada, and had a chance to see the behind-the-scenes chains of production.
