EDMONTON — Edmonton police say they will keep watch on a white supremacist rally planned for next weekend.

A group referring to itself as Blood & Honour posted plans for a March 24 “white pride rally” on Stromfront.org, a web forum for white supremacists. A message on the forum says the exact location will be revealed one day ahead of time.

“EPS will have a visible presence during the rally to ensure that everybody’s rights to free speech have been respected,” said police spokesman Scott Pattison.

An anti-racism rally is already planned for the same day. A notice on an anti-racism site says it is being organized in conjunction with the International Day Against Racial Discrimination. “Please come down, bring your friends, and show that racism will not be tolerated in this city,” it says.
