Anti-Fascist demonstrators said more needs to be done to stop racism in Calgary.
“I want people of colour to know that they should have a voice and they’re allowed to come and say something. They’re allowed to disrupt the system that disrupts their life all the time,” one protester said.
Police said the demonstrations remained peaceful and no arrests were made.
