Carrying “Hate not welcome here” signs, members of Anti-Racist Action Calgary marched through the community to Riley Park, where they held a brief speech. Three months ago, the group spearheaded a counter-protest against an Aryan Guard white pride march downtown, which resulted in a violent clash.
“There were absolutely no arrests made. No confrontation with the Aryan Guard,” duty inspector Rob Williams said of Saturday’s rally. “We had a police presence there . . . in case the situation turned bad, which it did not. We’re quite pleased with how this event went today.”
Organizers said the rally was held to protest against what they say are increased Aryan Guard activities in the area.
