Calgary activist events, March 2014

[Grant Neufeld]

The calendar on the http://www.activist.ca/ website has a bunch of events on it again. My apologies for the period of inactivity - a mix of technical difficulties, busy-ness on my part, and laziness on my part, resulted in the extended length of near-empty calendar.
