'Specialized equipment': A look at the RCMP-led entourage for G7 security
Article content Led by the RCMP, the ISSG is the multi-agency team responsible for safety and security of the G7 Leaders' Summit, which runs from June 15 to 17 in Kananaskis Village. Among the RCMP's partner agencies are the Calgary Police Service, the Alberta Sheriff's branch, Alberta conservation officers and the Canadian Forces, all of which had equipment and personnel present in northeast Calgary on Monday. RCMP Chief Supt. David Hall, ISSG security director, said the purpose of Monday's display was to give members of the public a sense of what to expect in terms of equipment throughout Calgary and Kananaskis during the summit. 'Some of it is pretty specialized equipment that will allow us to make sure the event's safe and secure for kind of everybody involved,' said Hall, adding it is the 'more visible' of the security measures in place. 'I want to reassure you that every security measure that we have put in place is intended to keep people safe,' he said.

G7 protests to be livestreamed to leaders in Kananaskis, Alta., to give protesters a voice
A security gate and fence outside the site of the G7 Leaders' Summit is pictured in Kananaskis, Alta., on June 2, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh Law enforcement officials overseeing security at the upcoming G7 Leaders' Summit in Alberta are expecting large protests but plan to make sure they stay peaceful. That includes livestreaming some of the sites to Kananaskis, where leaders from Canada, the United States, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, Italy and the European Union will meet June 15-17. 'These three designated G7 demonstration zones will have live audio and video feeds, which will be broadcast to G7 leaders and delegations at the site of the summit in Kananaskis,' said RCMP Chief Superintendent David Hall at a media briefing Monday. 'People who want to express themselves, as is their right, can't get close to the leaders, so the leaders won't see and hear the protests. So by establishing that video link, we are helping facilitate that Charter access.' Hall said teams have been reaching out to protest groups to clarify their intentions. He said protests are legal and every effort will be made to ensure they are given their right to express themselves. Joe Brar, the G7 event security director from Calgary police, said the city has protests every single weekend and it will continue throughout the summer. 'G7 puts Calgary on a global stage so we expect that to draw more protesters as well,' Brar said. 'We are working with organizers in advance ... to have conversations around demonstrations, what people's intentions are, when they're planning on demonstrating ... and ensuring they understand those that are lawful.' A display in the Calgary police parking lot showed some of the security equipment available for G7, including tactical units, protective gear, armoured police and military vehicles, and officers on horseback. 'These tools are reserved for worst-case scenarios and would only be deployed after other available options have been exhausted,' said Hall. Greg Medley, deputy chief of Alberta Sheriffs, said officers will be involved in traffic control, searching vehicles and, if necessary, helping with mass arrests. 'These officers are specially trained in the mass handling and movement of those in custody and will ensure the detainees' legal rights are respected and upheld while maintaining public safety and security across all event sites.' Air restrictions over the Calgary International Airport and over Kananaskis Village have already been announced. The radius at Kananaskis Village will be 30 nautical miles (56 kilometres), while it will be 20 nautical miles (37 kilometres) at the airport. The restrictions are set to begin at 6 a.m. on June 14 and remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. on June 17. Bill Graveland, The Canadian Press
