On a truck-powered float and above a sign that read "Chinese Communist Party Kills Falun Gong People for their Organs," march participants dramatize a graphic scene.

Falun Gong supporters march

Supporters in flower costumes ride on a truck, ornate with signs that read "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance" and "Falun Dafa in Canada".

Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) is a practice involving meditation, exercises, and the cultivation of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance within oneself. Marchers in this parade/protest were passing out literature about the practice itself and about some of the reported problems of persecution, especially that which is occurring in China.
