The Vancouver Divine Land Marching Band made its first appearance in their new costumes and drew a lot of attention. Many spectators along the parade route cheered as the marching band went by. The beautifully decorated lotus flower float, waist drum team, and dance team also received warm applause from the spectators.
Oliver, who has been living in Port Coquitlam since childhood, brought his son and nephew to watch the parade. He said that he has been looking forward to seeing the Falun Gong contingent, but for a while he was afraid that they were not coming.
Laura brought her four daughters to watch the parade. She praised the Falun Dafa contingent for giving her a peaceful feeling and said that she enjoyed the dancers the most.
Some practitioners handed out flyers along the parade route so that people in the city could learn more about Falun Gong and the persecution in China.
