FlickR Album: Tomkins 2008-03-15

These are photos I took at Tomkins Park (17 Avenue and 8 Street SW) in Calgary, Alberta on March 15, 2008. There were two rallies, that partially overlapped each other. Anti-seal protesters came first, and then the anti-war protesters followed.

The seal protesters were mainly along 17th avenue (not just at the park), while the anti-war people were mainly inside the park. Both actions were part of similiar events staged in other cities. The anti-war rally coincided with the 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.
