CALGARY, January 9, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — Calgary city council will decide Wednesday whether or not to cancel a private all-ages nude swim party at its Southland Leisure Centre after a petition to stop the event went viral.
CBC reported last Friday that Calgary Nude Recreation rented the city-run recreation center for a “Naked Water Slides and Wave Pool” event on January 14.
But the nudist group encourages children at its gatherings, according to its Meetup page.
“This group is family oriented and kid friendly and open to people of all ages, body types, all genders, sexual orientations, and anyone else in between,” it states.
That raised alarm bells for the conservative website Dailywire.com.
It blasted the nudist club for encouraging children to attend, and slammed Calgary city hall for renting to the group and providing paid staff to run the leisure center during the after-hours private event.
Alarm bells also went off for Canadian April Parker, who launched a change.org petition to stop the event. It’s been signed by 16,236 people and counting.
“Sexual predators will be on the prowl – having an event like that is just like Christmas to them,” Parker’s petition contends.
