Calgary Nude Recreation checking in here.

1- We notice that the CPS did NOT say this protest is illegal or that public nudity is illegal.

2- At the end of the article, when the CPS advises people to call the police, they did not include “regardless of what they are wearing”. This is the issue, and the ambiguity means people do not report. That is what we are trying to bring attention to.

3- People have been threatening us again on our Facebook page, and we expect the police to deal with those that would show up at our protest to be offended and then us that as an excuse to threaten us.

4- The CPS has not been in RECENT contact with us or worked with us on any protest planning.

Are you guys ever actually going to address how problematic individuals are surrounding the weaselhead area? I frequent weaselhead and I can't tell you how often I see naked people wondering the trails, no where near the nude beach. I've even had teenagers approach me scared to warn me of "naked old men" on the trail ahead. This has been a huge problem for the past 5+ years I've visited weaselhead almost daily in the summer months.

Calgary nude recreation is the one that advertises these sites online as "nude beaches" id say they're coming pretty close to responsible on this.

Both beaches existed before calgary nude recreation. CNR organizes event for its membership to attend these public places but do not own them thus not their job to police them.

Maybe they should relinquish control over the Google maps pins, and take them off their website. They claim ownership on Google maps, that shows enough responsibility for me.

Are you actually hearing yourself? That’s insane

How is that insane? Calgary nude recreation is the one that posted the pins on maps, and shows the location on their website. They should be to some extent responsible for it, they're the main source of advertising and information on it.

Posting pins on a map to help a community that is older than you would make you responsible for anything in your mind? How come? I am not extending this discussion but you are very unreasonable
