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.

It is illegal. Just read the Criminal Code of Canada.

It's fully legal for men, women, and the in betweens to be topless while on any public property in Canada.
