Hundreds of protesters rallied in downtown Calgary on Sunday as leaders from around the world began arriving for the start of the G7 summit in the Rocky Mountain resort of Kananaskis, Alta., about an hour west of the city.

With the site of the summit closed to the public, organizers have set up three “designated demonstration zones” in Calgary and one in Banff and have promised that live video feeds of the protests will be broadcast on big screens in Kananaskis to the leaders in attendance.

Aside from some traffic disruptions, Sunday’s protests were largely peaceful.
