Six Literary Landmarks on Stephen Avenue: A Jane's Walk on Story City

by Shaun Hunter


Stephen Avenue is one of my favourite places to introduce people to Calgary’s surprising literary history. I’m excited to share a few of the treasures I’ve found using Story City — a new platform for #JanesWalkYYC.

Get the Story City app, and enjoy this walk with your mobile device on Stephen Avenue or from your armchair with Story City’s “spoiler mode.” You choose!

You can find out more about Story City here.

A glimpse into the week Calgary was “the literary centre of the Dominion.” My latest literary history dive for Read Alberta.

(The group photo above was taken on the steps of Knox United Church and published in the Calgary Herald on July 7, 1928. Do you see any familiar faces?)
