(Clearwisdom.net, November 2, 2003) When we drive through small communities where there were no practitioners, we knew that we represented the voice of practitioners. We have touched many Canadian people's hearts in our journey. They are eagerly waiting to learn about the facts.

An Abbotsford resident listening to a practitioner explaining the facts
On the morning of October 21, 2003, we arrived at Abbotsford and Chilliwack in British Columbia and met with the local media. Because it was a remote area, our planned poster exhibition site was not very ideal. So we changed our plan and set up the posters in a busy area. After notifying the media about the change, we started practicing the Falun Gong exercises and explaining the facts to passersby. A gentleman was very moved after he learned about what has happened. He stayed with us for quite a while. He said that meeting with us had a very positive impact on his life.
In Chilliwack, our righteous field attracted many people, including a group of young people. They eagerly learned the exercises. Many people driving by held their thumbs up towards us, while some honked their horns to show their support.
We also visited the Abbotsford Mayor's office and met with his secretary. She was moved by what we told her and promised to give our truth-clarifying literature to all of the city council members. When we walked into the Chilliwack Mayor's Office, the Mayor had just come out of a meeting. Seeing us waiting at the reception desk, he immediately came to greet us. We were very happy to give him a packet of truth-clarifying materials and explained to him about Falun Dafa and its history. We told him about the global coalition to bring Jiang to justice, as well as the help and support that he could offer. He said he would carefully read those documents.
For each place that we went to, and for each person we met, it truly felt like we were creating history. People are learning about the facts of Falun Gong, which will have a great impact on their futures.
