(Clearwisdom.net) On March 14, thousands of people attended the 23rd St. Patrick's Day parade in Toronto. There were 15 floats and 10 bands in the parade.

For the 4th time, the Toronto chapter of the Divine Land Marching Band was invited to perform in the parade. The Divine Land Marching Band is comprised of Falun Gong practitioners.

The mayor of Mississauga, 89 year-old Hazel McCallion, was the parade's Grand Marshall. When the band passed the host stage, she waved to the band, cheering them on.

Some people said the Divine Land Marching Band was one of the best groups in the parade. Some remarked how the band members look so energetic. Several people from Japan and Hong Kong were glad to see such a big band with so many Chinese faces promoting Asian culture in Toronto.
