Throughout the day, city council members and leaders of the participating human rights organizations presented speeches. Ms. Huang, of the Falun Dafa Association, spoke on the history of Falun Dafa and the brutal persecution by the communist regime in China.
Falun Dafa practitioners demonstrated the exercises on stage, and afterward some spectators commented that they could feel a strong energy during the presentation.
Many people, including the event organizer, expressed an interest in learning Falun Dafa at a free weekly beginners' class at the University of Alberta. Even more attendees expressed support for ending the persecution and condemned the communist regime's brutal crime of harvesting the organs of imprisoned Falun Dafa practitioners.
