With great support from City Council members, Falun Gong practitioners were able to bring this art exhibit to City Hall. Employees of the city government gave Falun Gong practitioners a lot of support by helping them set up lights and the artwork. Tourists from China were amazed to see that Falun Gong practitioners' artwork was exhibited in City Hall.

The leader of the Greek Community of Metropolitan Toronto gave a speech at City Hall to support Falun Gong practitioners. He said that on behalf of all people in his community, he would like to express support for the exhibition and what it aimed to achieve. He said he was against genocide because the Greek community has also experienced much suffering. They understand Falun Gong practitioners' situation.

Mr. John Fraser of Massey College of the University of Toronto is a winner of the Canadian Medal and columnist for the Globe and Mail. He wrote a letter of congratulations to the art exhibition. He said in his letter that having experienced both pain and support, Falun Dafa practitioners have taught us that love and beauty were better than hatred, but most impressive was their courage and determination to practice "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."

Falun Gong practitioners expressed their appreciation to all who have given support and made the art exhibition possible.
