Don't worry about a "group". Calgary will have some kind of city planning authority as part of the government. Find out when the meetings are and go. Listen, try to understand what is going on, and speak up (politely!) if something in the plan is dangerous to pedestrians or cyclists. If you have friends who live in Calgary and walk or bike, encourage them to do the same.

Demonstrations may feel good, but just showing up for city planning will have a bigger effect.
