Boing Boing reader Paolo says,

Every Sunday on ~~Mt-Royale~~ Mount Royal in Montreal a group of mideaval revivalists get together and beat eachother with duct-taped weapons. Some of them put a lot of work into their outfits but they still come off as "D&D Nerds" so a group of self-proclaimed hipsters decided to attack them… as ZOMBIES!

Reader comment: Manuel Lanctot says,

It's Mount Royal, not Mt-Royale. Mt-Royal is the name of one of the streets leading to the Mount Royal.

Kevin Wallace says,

Here's a write-up about the whole event, from one of the people participating as a zombie: Link

I could be mistaken, but those "D&Ders" you mention on Boing Boing are most likely Amtgard members.
