Canada: Bringing the Beauty of Dafa to Communities (Photos)

By a practitioner from Calgary

(Clearwisdom.net) The 12th annual Forest Lawn Parade was held on August 26, 2006. This is the biggest parade in Calgary. The Forest Lawn community is one of the earliest communities built in Calgary. There are a lot of Asian stores along 17th Avenue—also known as "International Avenue." Falun Gong practitioners attended the parade for the second time. Once again, they brought the beauty of Falun Dafa to the community.

The practitioners' float

There were dozens of entries in the parade. The Falun Gong practitioners’ entry was led by practitioners carrying several banners. Following the banners was the Celestial Maidens dance troupe. Practitioners demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises on the float. The spectators applauded and praised the practitioners’ performance all along the parade route.

After the parade, many citizens asked to take photos with the celestial maidens. One woman said to the practitioners, "My daughter thinks that you are butterfly fairies, so please take a photo with her." The practitioners gave them some truth-clarification materials and asked them to remember, "Falun Dafa is good."
