Congratulations to Ken Wilson on the public launch of Walking The Bypass, published by University of Regina Press. Ken’s book evolved from a series of walks he took during the pandemic lockdown, and in its manuscript form Ken received the City of Regina Writing Award in 2022. Dan Piepenbring writes about Walking The Bypass in Harper’s Magazine.

Ken will be doing Walking The Bypass launch events in Regina on October 7th and October 30th, and in November readings are lined up in Ottawa, and in Toronto, where he’ll be in conversation with another friend of Project Pedestrian, Shawn Micallef.

Ken is very much a source of inspiration and a generous resource for Project Pedestrian. I was delighted to be able to talk to Ken about his book, his walking experiences and ideas, and to go on a walk with him along some of the overpriced infrastructure that provides the route for Walking The Bypass.
