From the Alberta Politics thread, it is worthwhile to bring more light to the need to support and sign the petition to put a positive and Canadian question into the referendum and eliminate the ability for the separatists to put their own question that will likely be misleading.
This petition is following the old rules and thus needs 300,000 signatures (10% of the electorate) and a short window of time (90 days) to collect all of those signatures.

There are several places in Calgary to sign the petition this weekend. Edmonton now has a permanent location that people can go to, as well as pop-up locations throughout the week. Look for whatever is upcoming, sign the petition yourself and spread the word to your friends and loved ones who may not be as aware of the situation but would be upset if they were suddenly not Canadian.
CTV Calgary (and other local media) are reporting on this:
