Occupy Canada largely occupied B.C.

Since Saturday, protester numbers have dwindled significantly across the board, but still thousands of Canadians made a notable appearance this past weekend, often in cities you wouldn’t expect. And some of the numbers are surprising. Occupy Nelson, for example, had about 500 protesters, while Calgary attracted a meager 400. Meanwhile, Vancouver led the pack ahead of Toronto and Montreal, perhaps not surprising considering the city is home to Adbusters, the magazine credited for initiating the original Occupy Wall Street movement. B.C., in general, had the strongest turnouts in the country.

Below are figures from Saturday, October 15—the first and most eventful day of Occupy Canada. Turnout numbers are approximate and the list of cities may not be entirely comprehensive.
