(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in Edmonton, Canada volunteered their holiday time to demonstrate the exercises and clarify the facts in front of the provincial parliament on July 1, Canada's National Day.

The location is a traditional spot for Canadians to gather and enjoy Canada Day in Edmonton, the capital of Alberta. It has also become practitioners' tradition to share the gentle exercises and facts of the persecution with locals each year.

Unlike previous years, the Chinese language materials went fast. In the past, Chinese people had been fearful of approaching Falun Gong activities due to the Party's propaganda and intimidation tactics. But the situation has dramatically improved in recent times. Several new Chinese immigrants reached out to practitioners for materials. Many Chinese learned the facts about the practice and the persecution.

A visiting Chinese scholar also seized the opportunity to learn the exercises.
