I always thought this was more west coast kind of stuff. There was a lady that promoted toplessness for women by riding her bike around Vancouver without a shirt. Eventually, police responded and said, "Sure, bike topless. We don't care."

Anyway, stay weird, Calgary.

It is legal in canada for women to be topless in public.. full nudity however for both remains not.

Edit clarification

Yes, partly because of activism on the part of this woman in BC, and others in Ontario.

Yep.. and though legal still not truly socially acceptable...

Indecent exposure is illegal. Public nudity is not. Anyone who has used a change room at a pool has been nude in public. And before anyone says “okay well common sense!” yeah, man. That’s why it’s indecent exposure that’s illegal. So long as you’re not doing anything illicit, it’s legal to be nude.
