Honk for Syria

February 18, 2012August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

A group of mainly Syrian Canadians in Calgary have been holding a weekly protest outside City Hall ever since the Syrian uprising began last year. They're seeking an end to the violence and removal of the Assad regime.

Some Occupy Calgary supporters have also been supporting the Syrian cause by joining in some of the protests.

I've seen a lot of bus stops, but this is the first "walk stop" I ever saw.

Lineup at Peters’ Drive-In

February 11, 2012April 30, 2021 by Robert Thivierge

Nearing the end of my trip (to the nearby Fanning to visit a VIP), I had to stop here for the best fries in the city. On leaving I got this. By this time, the weather had improved quite a bit from earlier.

This is the Wild Rose United Church on 1317 - 1 Street NW in Calgary.

Syria Freedom Rally

February 11, 2012August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

This was a rally to support people seeking freedom in Syria. Since the protests began last year, every Saturday at 2pm a group of people, mainly from Calgary's Syrian community hold a rally for this cause. On this day people associated with the Occupy Calgary also decided to hold a rally for the same cause, and were present when I was there. I was only there for a limited time, so didn't see who came and left before and after. I'm not sure how much the two groups interacted.
