(Clearwisdom.net) Every July 1, an annual Canada Day Parade will be held in Richmond, British Columbia to celebrate Canada's birthday and display multiple cultures in the Great Vancouver Area.

Falun Gong as an ancient Chinese culture, was invited to participate in the parade. Vancouver practitioners all realized that parades are a way to display to people the beauty and sacredness of Falun Dafa. So everyone actively participated.

The Falun Dafa procession was led by practitioners holding the banners reading: "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Followed them were Flower baskets dance, Tang Dynasty costume display, fan dance and exercise demonstration to Dafa music "Pu Du," and "Ji Shi." Many Westerners were amazed by the elegant exercise and dance. One Westerner said, "It's inconceivable that China bans such a beautiful exercise and dance."

The new immigrants from China had a strong response to this parade. They spoke out their voices on chat rooms on the Internet, "In this parade in Richmond, Falun Gong is the largest group, it seems that many of the Chinese government's propaganda are not reliable. One Falun Gong practitioner handed me a flyer, but I didn't dare to take it. I seem to have been deeply poisoned..." The parade displayed the beauty of Falun Dafa and also clarified the truth to the people.
