Debbie and i met in person with Greg of the Calgary Police Service and had a very interesting meeting.
The Calgary Police Service is going to be providing policing services, traffic control and the like (the stuff police do).

The Calgary Police Service will be present for our parade route (traffic control, etc...) and rally as we need the Calgary Police Service to help us make sure we can have our legal march / parade and all rally attendees get to go home safe and unhurt!

The Calgary Police Service prefers to let myself and my rally / march / parade marshals interact with the rally attendees our selfs.

So that means i will have what are called rally / march / parade marshals with bright traffic type vests attending the rally. I will introduce the official Calgary 420 rally / march / parade marshals to all rally attendees at the start of the rally. If you have any problems come to me (Keith Fagin), i will be slowly driving a red Chev truck right in front of the march / parade attendees honking the horn (health issues prevent me from marching with you all sadly) or find a official Calgary 420 rally / march / parade marshal and ask for their help. We all we be more then happy to assist you!

We get to march along the planned parade route already set in place. See http://gmm.Calgary420.ca/ for route map.
I do get to have the permits that i applied for (after they are paid for of course). 8) We do get to have the AC power outlets at OLYMPIC PLAZA. 8) 8) 8)
LIVE BAND for entertainment folks!!! 8) 8)

I have to resubmit the proper forms (city hall sent the wrong ones to me originally), Greg of the Calgary Police Service walked me through it during our meeting. I also have to buy insurance for the 2006 Calgary Global Marijuana March to cover any issues that could arise.

I know this is going to the biggest pro marijuana rally conservative Calgary has every experienced folks.

The best part is we all get to have a real good time with other like mind people and we even get to educate people in regards to the truths about marijuana to boot. Have to like that eh!!!!

Take care all!
