Instructions

If you can’t make it out to Griffintown to do this walk, please use headphones when listening to the guide. If you’re on your way there now, remember these ground rules:

• Please take a copy of the map with you – it tells you where to start and is useful if you get off track.

• You are moving through a real environment; things like cars, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians are all around you. Please be careful.

• Follow the rhythm of the footsteps as best you can. You’ll be able to hear them now and again during the walk to remind you of the pace.

• Don’t cross a street until the narrator indicates – if you get ahead, please wait at the corner. If you fall behind, press pause and make your way to where you’re supposed to be.

• Listen! At any moment during this walk, feel free to press pause and remove your headphones – the soundscape is happening all around you. Also, this guide should be listened to in harmony with the sounds of Griffintown – don’t turn your headphones up so loud that you can’t hear what’s around you at the same time.
