(Clearwisdom.net) Toronto's Annual International Dragon Boat Festival was held on June 24 and 25 this year. As in previous years, Falun Gong practitioners from Toronto assembled at the harbor in the early morning. In order to clarify the truth to the tens of thousands of tourists, they hung up banners, set up a display board and made available all kinds of truth-clarifying materials.

Practitioners' truth-clarifying display boards

Many tourists accepted the truth-clarifying materials

One hundred and eighty teams and 6,000 athletes joined the 18^th East Asian International Dragon Boat Festival in Toronto. The organizer estimated that more than 100 thousand spectators watched the races. At this time every year, people come to the Toronto Centre Island to watch the dragon boat races and all kinds of performances from different cultures. Dozens of organizations set up booths on the island to introduce their products or offer voluntary services.

Falun Gong practitioners also welcomed the tourists with a smile. They told people the facts about Falun Gong, the persecution, quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the CCP's harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. Practitioners hope that, after learning the truth, people will develop righteous thoughts towards Dafa and therefore have a wonderful future. Many tourists signed their names on the petition to call for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong.
