On the morning of July 8th, more than a hundred Falun Gong practitioners held a parade in Chinatown in Calgary. Vigorous and rhythmic drumbeats from waist drummers, a float with splendid colours and an elegant design, and a beautiful and elegant ribbon dance, fan dance, exercise demonstration and the music of "Falun Dafa is Good" displayed the wonderfulness of Falun Dafa. At the same time, practitioners held up banners and signs about the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China, and they carried out the reenactment of live organ harvesting, and banners reading "Live Organ Harvesting is Unacceptable and Intolerable by Heavenly Principles," "Canadian Independent Investigation Confirms the CCP’s Live Organ Harvesting".

At the latter half of the parade procession, two western practitioners held a wreath with a huge Chinese character that translates as "mourning".

An elderly couple from England was stunned after learning that Falun Gong practitioners, who cultivate "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance", are having their organs harvested by the CCP. They encouraged practitioners to keep up their efforts to clarify the facts. They said, "When Hitler slaughtered the Jewish people in WWII so many people were killed just because nobody believed it."

After the parade, practitioners continued their activities at the entrance to Prince’s Island Park in downtown Calgary. Their efforts drew the attention of many passersby.

Mr. Lu Decheng, who was called one of the "Three Heroes in Tiananmen," said at the rally, "After having suffered ten years in prison, I am not surprised at the CCP’s brutality. … but I feel very sad when seeing my own countrymen being killed." The organiser of the rally expressed: "We do not want to believe this is true, but it is indeed true. I’m very sad, but I am not surprised by the CCP’s cruelty."
