They demonstrated exercises, performed Chinese dances and music during the parades and their performances have been warmly welcomed by spectators.

Many Chinese people are proud of the Falun Gong group in the parades, for they represent genuine Chinese culture. Ms. Wang from Shandong province came to Canada a few months ago. She warmly applauded for Falun Gong in the parade. She said, “I am very happy to see Falun Gong practitioners freely demonstrating their beauty and righteousness. They have the freedom in Canada.”

Ms. Wang said: “Several friends of mine practice Falun Gong. They are all good people, but have been persecuted. I am upset about the persecution they suffer, meanwhile I am touched by their spirit. This is why I am so excited to see Falun Gong here. It is nice to live in a free country.”
