The uprising is coming….
It’s the 12th Annual Calgary Zombie Walk at Olympic Plaza. Join Hundreds of like minded undead friends as you shuffle down Stephen Ave.

WALK FOR FREEDOM CALGARY - October 14, 2021
Rally with us as we take a stand against human trafficking in our city. On October 14th, in over 600 cities around the world, we will lace up our shoes and march in single-file to illuminate the darkness of modern day slavery and raise funds & awareness around the need to rescue and restore more lives than ever before.
Human trafficking is a global issue, and is even growing right here in our own country and province. Today, over 27 million people are enslaved through human trafficking, and their average age is 12-14 years old. This has to stop, for good!
Register for the walk at a21.org.
