Walking the Bypass: Notes on Place From the Side of the Road
by Ken Wilson
University of Regina Press
370 pages, $27.95
Author Ken Wilson has used his expertise in taking pilgrimage walks as a way to connect with land, people and place to learn about the past and present of the city-encircling Regina Bypass.
Wilson, a settler and an assistant professor at the University of Regina, walked the route — a three-day 70-kilometre journey — and considered how the original land has been shaped by settler activity. Walking the Bypass is a map to understanding the spaces we live in, even “non-spaces” like bypasses.
