My plan takes at least one or two years of preparation, mainly preparing handmade shotgun shells, if 40 shells were made every day for a year (give or take a few), that would translate to about 14,600 shells, and of course if I had friends chip in, more, which I would then store in a rented container.

1. First day of the Appocolypse, news in the morning (I always listen to news in the morning so yay for me), first call my friends and arrange a meeting at the Delta Bessborough Hotel a rather large castle like structure located in the business district of Saskatoon (I'll attach some pictures), next grab a car get my mom and head down to the 'Bezz' meet my friends steal a few half tonnes and some trailers, and get my enourmous stash of ammo, a few of us taking Melee weapons to fight the Zombies off and divert attention while the others load the trailers, needless to say it will probably take several trips as we will need to move off before we get surrounded. After this I will split my few friends into groups, some going to raid superstores around town for food, others tasked with cleaning out every major arms dealer in the city, they will also be charged with gathering supplies for making amunition namely pellets paper and gunpowder for shotgun shells, and alchoholic beverages for Molotov Cocktails as well as anything else we need vehicles radios safety equipment etc, along the way stopping to rescue survivors and stranded, hopefully by the time this is completed we will have a good number close to a hundred or so, and hopefully a fairly equal gender ratio which will be important for a future repopulation effort.

2. Barricading the Bessborough, from the front this should be fairly simple, there is only one entrance about 30 feet in width, and the rest of this side is dotted with narrow windows each sill about 5 or 6 feet off the ground which are hard to get into and can be fairly easily boarded up, the only other entrance is to a small expensive Japanese resturaunt in the side of the building but like I said its small and it has thick heavy wooden doors (oak or something), with deadbolts so not to much worry there. For the main entrance 2 or 3 layers of concrete parking barriers would be placed outside the main doors, and since I'm more fond of killing Zombies than hiding from them that would be about it along with a layer of gasoline in front of the barricade applied freshly every day set alight for those especially crowded moments. These changes would be implemented as quickly as possible with a shotgun group forming a one block defensive perimeter. The rear of the hotel and Bezz gardens is where it gets more tricky, as you can probably see in the image I loaded there are a lot of large glass ground level windows, we would have to board most of these with layers of doors ripped from hotel rooms and any sort of thick wooden objects available leaving a few spaces with cracks to stick our guns out. The upside to this position as you can probably also see is that the hotel on this side has 2 bastions jutting out in a V and there is a fairly low roof on the rear entrance and windows so that virtually every angle of the courtyard can be covered from the hotel itself with rifle and automatic weapons fire which will greatly decrease the burden on the ground level defenders.

3. Survival, and so comes the fight itself, this for the most part is simple, are days will be spent taking turns firing shotguns from the ground and rifles and throwing Molotovs from the many windows and turrets lining the hotel, and making shells fixing weapons and preparing more Molotovs, I'd imagine that the Zombies would become dettered at times and look for other victims giving us short periods of rest and some time to counter attack the Zombies and gather food and supply's, as well as to clear the piles of rotting corpses and burn them, thereby limiting the risk of infection by exposure and keeping our defenses maintained. Plans for extra powerful waves includes pouring gasoline on the ground/Zombies and lighting using Molotovs, and or clearing the perimeter using powerful city snowplowing and constuction equipment which would be kept close to the hotel. Of course I'm assuming that Zombies even though undead and able to survive having they're lungs filled with water, cannot swim very well especially in a fast flowing river like the one that goes through my city, therefore the river gives us a major tactical advantage, if the Zombies on the East side get a whiff of the glorious odour of human flesh coming from our merry band, they will be forced to take one of the the 4 major bridges spanning the South Saskatchewan River all of which can be observed from the higher turrets of the hotel, seeing which bridges hold the majority of traffic we can then plow through with our heavy equipment killing hundreds within a few seconds. Of course in the case we are swarmed on all sides, and all survivors are called to arms on the ground we might be forced to another level, but then there are Canoes stored in the Bezz, so all we would have to do is get to the low roof at the rear and clear a path to the river in order to escape, although I'm not sure it would come to that with consistent bridge clearing and supply raiding, I think survival chances look fairly decent. Another important factor to realize is the population is not enourmous about 230,000 for the urban area, which means a few months of war would probably exhaust the local infestation, by no means ending the Apocolypse, but allowing for some extended downtime, and then of course, I can't really see Zombies operating in our winters, dead or not it doesn't really make a difference up here :).

4. Recovery, with the local infestation cleared we would now have something of a base for operations in Western Canada and even the Northern United States, with access to a large airport we could support resistance in the central provinces (Alberta, SK, Manitoba), as well as northern states such as Montana ND, maybe even as far as Washington and Minnesota. Since most of the army resides in Ontario I don't worry about them, and BC well...they can just get on they're boats and fish :). For my people I would try to rebuild and fortify the city as much as possible, gather more people from the surounding provinces and maximize our defenses for the coming attack sending scouts to estimate the size of new Zombie armies, and of course if survival is out of the question we would simply bury extra food and ammo in a secure location and head as far north as possible, establishing the last human settlement...that is of course if none of you survive lol!

Please comment and suggest any improvments.
