Girls wrapped in Colombian flag
These girls were part of the sizeable "Walk for the Peace of Colombia". that gathered at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary on February 4, 2008. Similiar gatherings were held around the world, with enormous numbers in Colombia itself. It was quite cold, but everyone seemed quite enthusiastic, and determined to endure the bad weather. People were calling for an end to the kidnappings, killings, and other violence committed by FARC in Colombia.

This gathering near the Marlborough LRT station (background) was the second of two on August 25, 2007 in Calgary, Alberta.
