Good timing. I'm going to be in town. I'd really like to visit the Dominion Public Building and Bank of NS.

^I went to the Dominion Public Building during Doors Open last year; it was very cool even though the tower was (is) closed. Also randomly checked out the Little Dutch Church and the Canadian Hurricane Centre. I wish I could be there this time around, as it's an impressive list.

Starting today.

It's every year isn't it? I missed it this year (I don't even think I was in town) but I guess I can start planning for the next one. To be honest I always forget that we even have one here. When spring time is approaching all I think about is if there's some way I can get to Toronto to take in the one there.

Yes, to my understanding it's now every year. I think it just started up in Halifax a few years ago, actually.

I missed this year as well but really enjoyed the 2014 one. Hope to make it next year, along with some more Jane's walk events.

2013 was the first year.sadly, 2015 seemed smaller - noticeably absent this year were all the churches, which opened in 2013.
