(Clearwisdom.net) On September 4 and 5, 2004, practitioners in
Montreal participated in the "Celebration of China" festival in
Quebec. This is the third time for Falun Gong to participate in the event.
The waist drum team performed before an opening ribbon-cutting ceremony
attended by special invited guests. A practitioner introduced the waist drum
team, Falun Gong and the persecution of Falun Gong in China to the audience. The
dance group and waist drum team performed three programs in an indoor show.

After the performance, the organizer of the festival talked about the
persecution of Falun Gong to the audience and asked people to sign a letter of
appeal calling for an end to the persecution.
During the two-day festival, many people signed to support the lawsuit
against Jiang Zemin. Some heard of Dafa for the first time and others asked many
questions about the persecution. A man from Senegal said that when the
persecution of Falun Gong started in China, there were large newspaper headlines
every day for about a month. He was pleased to have the chance to learn about
Falun Gong at the festival. Many people read the anti-torture posters and
expressed their indignation towards the brutal persecution. Some festival
visitors were interested in learning the Falun Gong exercises.
