Mayor Nenshi on protests outside City Hall

What makes this country work is the fact we can live together and disagree on things respectfully. People must be allowed the freedom of expression, but there is no place in our community for violence as we exercise our freedoms.

We all must condemn violence.

The Calgary Police Service will investigate every allegation of physical violence and appropriate charges will be laid should the evidence support it. They ask that those who believe they were assaulted at this event, contact them by calling 403-266-1234.

- Mayor Naheed Nenshi
