Well, looks like Nenshi is still waiting for the weather to take care of things.

City must respect Occupy Calgary's right to protest, says Nenshi
During a press conference, Naheed Nenshi and top city officials said the country's top law explicitly protects political expression.
Police cannot arrest citizens for by-law infractions, such as camping in a public square.
Nenshi said the city could ticket and remove materials, but could not remove people from Olympic Plaza.
Negotiations with the police are ongoing.
About a dozen protesters have been camping in the park for more than two weeks. A second faction of Occupy Calgary that had set up a camp on St. Patrick's island annouced it would be shutting down its site on Monday.
More to come...

Evidently you may snub any by-law in the city as long as you claim it's a charter right to do so.
