SD walk & talk

We’re heading back into the ravine!

Our Service Safari continues, and this time we’re mixing a little walking with a little collaborative thinking.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been exploring Toronto’s Vale of Avoca Ravine through a service design lens. We’ve walked the trails, gathered observations, shared perspectives, and started connecting the dots.
Now we’re heading back outdoors to see what else we can discover together!

### What’s the plan?

We’ll start with a short walk through the ravine, revisiting some of the places, observations, and questions that have come up along the way.

Then we’ll gather around the picnic tables at David A. Balfour Park for a mapping jam — using flip charts, sticky notes and markers to bring our observations together, explore different perspectives and see what insights and opportunities emerge.

Think of it as part nature walk, part collaborative workshop, and plenty of good conversation!

### Who can join?

Everyone is welcome! You don’t need to have attended the previous Service Safari events or be an experienced service designer.
Whether you’re curious about service design, urban nature, public spaces or simply enjoy exploring the city with interesting people, come along!

###

Bring: Comfortable walking shoes, warm layers, a hot drink if you’d like, and your curiosity!
We’ll bring the mapping materials.

A note on weather: This is an outdoor event, so we’ll keep an eye on the forecast and share any changes if needed.

See you on the trails!
