Calgary Pride 2009
Calgary held it's Pride Parade along Stephen Avenue Mall. It's microscopic compared to Toronto, but still a good turnout. I was really annoyed with myself, because I forgot to put my memory card in my camera before I left. I only had room for about 8 photos on my camera's internal memory.
