阿尔伯塔省独立支持者周六下午聚集在埃德蒙顿省议会大厦广场，高喊口号、挥舞旗帜，为周一全省公投前的最后一次拉票造势，争取支持分离主义事业。
Crowds of Alberta independence supporters filled the plaza at the legislature in Edmonton on Saturday afternoon, chanting and waving flags in a last push to rally support for the separatist cause ahead of Monday's referendum.
“让阿尔伯塔决定”组织最初将活动安排在下午3点（山地时间），但该地区强风迫使组织者将开始时间推迟到下午4点。
Let Alberta Decide initially scheduled the event for 3 p.m. MT, but strong winds in the region led organizers to push the start time to 4 p.m.
活动安排了十位演讲者，其中包括共同担任该组织联合主席、兼阿尔伯塔过渡委员会负责人的律师基思·威尔逊。该委员会已制定计划，以防该省最终从加拿大分离出去。
Ten speakers are lined up for the event, including Keith Wilson, a lawyer who co-chairs the organization and heads the Alberta Transition Council, which has formed a plan should the province ultimately secede from Canada.
预计全省各地的人士将参加活动，支持分离的团体安排了巴士，将各城市的人送往阿尔伯塔省议会大厦。该组织网站显示，租用了10辆巴士，为居住在省会以外的人士提供往返接送，需支付费用。来自卡尔加里和勒杜克的各两辆巴士已售罄。
People from across the province were expected to attend, with the pro-separatist group arranging buses to take people from various cities to the Alberta legislature. According to the group’s website, 10 buses were rented to transport people living outside the capital city for a round-trip fee. Two buses each from Calgary and Leduc have sold out.
埃德蒙顿警察局周六早上发布交通提醒，称示威活动可能影响市中心及省议会大厦周边的交通。警方提醒驾车者，该地区可能出现延误，并建议考虑绕行。
The Edmonton Police Service issued a traffic advisory Saturday morning, saying the demonstration could affect traffic in the city's core and around the legislative grounds. It advises motorists about potential delays in that area and to consider taking alternate routes.
周六的集会是周一全省公投前几天举行或计划举行的多场集会之一。公投将包含10个问题。
The scheduled rally is just one of several that have happened, or are planned, over the final days before Monday’s provincewide referendum, which will feature 10 questions.
最引人注目的问题询问阿尔伯塔人，是希望该省留在加拿大联邦，还是希望省政府启动法律程序，举行具有约束力的分离公投。
The most notable question asks Albertans whether they want the province to remain in Confederation, or if they want the provincial government to start the legal process to hold a binding secession referendum.
据阿尔伯塔选举局称，已有数十万阿尔伯塔人通过邮寄或提前投票站投下选票，提前投票站将于周六晚上8点关闭。
According to Elections Alberta, hundreds of thousands of Albertans have already cast their ballots via mail or advance polls, which close at 8 p.m. Saturday.
周一，投票站上午9点至晚上8点开放。如果出现排队，投票站将延长开放时间，以便选民完成投票。
On Monday, voting locations are open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. If there are any lineups, stations will stay open longer to allow people to finish voting.
民意调查一致显示，大多数阿尔伯塔人希望留在加拿大。但根据阿尔伯塔选举局的数据，相当数量的阿尔伯塔人支持独立运动：它核实了近222,600份签名，用于由阿尔伯塔繁荣计划领袖米奇·西尔维斯特领衔的“留在自由阿尔伯塔”公民倡议请愿书。
Polling has consistently suggested that most Albertans want to stay in Canada. But according to Elections Alberta, a significant number of Albertans back the independence movement: it verified almost 222,600 signatures for the Stay Free Alberta citizen initiative petition, headed by Mitch Sylvestre, leader of the Alberta Prosperity Project.
八月下旬，数百人聚集在省议会大楼前，参加另一场支持分离的集会。
In late August, hundreds of people gathered at the legislature for another pro-separation rally.
