The protest started on Kensington Road, went North along 10 Street NW (seen here), and then wound up shortly after at Riley Park. The event was organized by Anti-Racist Action (ARA) Calgary.

This is one of the pictures I took in downtown Calgary of a protest for Tibetan freedom against the Chinese government. Protesters started at Olympic Plaza and marched to the Chinese consulate, which is where these protesters are. The girl is wearing assorted pro-Tibet buttons.

Protester Denise Ogonoski can be seen in the back seat, being taken away by police. She was taken in because she had climbed up a light pole to put up a Tibetan flag outside the Chinese consulate. One thing that concerned me after this happened, was I overheard another protester asking where Denise was taken, and the police officer didn't seem to know or care to find out.
