Falun Gong practitioners held a variety of activities at the Canada Day event. Truth-clarification displays included information from the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party publication, information about quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and an introduction to the Divine Performing Arts. The Falun Gong practitioners' artistic performances attracted many people. The practitioners also demonstrated Falun Gong exercises along with the music. Some of the children followed along with the stretching exercise movements, and many adults asked about exercise site locations and bought exercise instruction CDs.
Many people from China requested information and obtained truth-clarifying materials, and many Canadians signed a petition showing their support for Falun Gong after learning about the evil conduct of the CCP assistants in Flushing.
One Korean man said he felt the strong energy at the exercise field. He quietly stood in the field for a long time and talked to Falun Gong practitioners. A Canadian man said he had been reading The Epoch Times for years and knew about Falun Gong. He had also heard about the Flushing incident.
During the Canada Day celebration, Falun Gong practitioners performed the lion dance and ribbon dance, and gave flute and Erhu performances. Tourists enjoyed these performances very much, especially the resonant drumming.
