By a practitioner in Ontario, Canada

(Clearwisdom.net) At the time of the 3^rd World Falun Dafa Day and the 10^th Anniversary of the public introduction of Falun Dafa, practitioners from the two small cities of Waterloo and Kitchener of Ontario Province, Canada, used their best manner to celebrate this special day. They had a picnic and spreading the Fa in the park and distributed truth-clarifying materials along the walk.

Group practice at Waterloo Park	Holiday Walking	Sent forth righteous thoughts along the way

After noontime, more and more people came to the Waterloo Park. Practitioners set up displaying boards and truth-clarifying materials along the path. Though it was only a simple picnic, this was a rare gathering for practitioners of these cities because everyone was busy promoting Dafa or exposing the evil persecution. After the picnic, practitioners practiced Falun Dafa exercises and sent forth righteous thoughts. And during that time, more and more people came and saw this event. No matter if the visitor was a westerner or a Chinese, almost all of them knew Falun Dafa and knew the persecution going on in China. A reporter from a local newspaper interviewed the practitioners and shot many pictures of this special event from different angles.

Later, practitioners started to walk to another small city, Kitchener. Some practitioners held a display board for the 10^th Anniversary and distributed flyers along the way. Children had balloons imprinted "Falun Dafa" and "Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance". Along the way, we passed the good news of "Happy Birthday Falun Dafa" to passers-by, people attending a wedding ceremony, and people in restaurants, bus stations, and on the City Hall Square. Many people happily stopped and celebrated with us. The most impressive thing to us was that almost everyone we met knew Falun Dafa, especially the evil persecution launched by Jiang's Regime. This is truly out of the expectations of Jiang's regime when they started the fabrications and suppression. Many people who had heard about Falun Dafa before expressed their wishes to resume practicing after meeting us.

The walk finished at Park Victoria in downtown Kitchener City. It was a beautiful park and it seemed that the swans and geese were also enjoying the peacefulness and happiness of this special day.

We appreciate Teacher. We appreciate and miss all those practitioners who were tortured to death by Jiang's regime and those clarifying the truth to the sentient beings.
