為慶祝道教蓬萊閣30周年紀念及國際道家太極日，今天在多倫多市的登打士廣場舉行千人操及舞龍遊行活動。來自世界各地24個國家國際道家太極拳分會約600名成員，連同本地的成員達千人，於現場進行太極示範。其後眾成員沿廣場遊行，手持不同國家的國旗，浩浩蕩蕩從央街出發，繞到登打士街，再返回廣場。
在遊行隊伍中，兩條金龍在路上舞動，其中一條長達150呎，由50人合力揮舞；另一條長50呎，由25人舞動，吸引途人的目光。
國際道家太極拳社董事洪子斌表示，今年的活動主要是慶祝道教蓬萊閣成立30周年紀念，並且進行每年一度的國際道家太極日。該會多年來積極推廣太極拳，分會由400個增至800個，遍布全球26個國家，可見這項運動廣受歡迎。
至於練習太極拳的益處，能夠提升人們的健康狀況，幫助身體達至平衡，強化關節、骨骼及內臟功能。

Built in 1793, Fort York National Historic Site is the birthplace of urban Toronto. It is best known as the location where the Battle of York came to its violent climax in 1813 during the War of 1812. The Fort served as the city’s primary harbour defence between the 1790s and the 1880s, and was the home of a military garrison until the 1930s.
Toronto proudly hosts one of the largest Pride Festivals in the world. Pride Saturday is one of the busiest day of Toronto’s Pride Festival, second only to Pride Sunday when the Pride Parade is held. The Toronto Dyke March is held on Pride Saturday. Saturday is much less crowded than Sunday, so it’s the best time to check out the street fair and those free shows at several stages around Church Wellesley Village.

Pride Toronto Streetfair is not just a place to grab some food or intriguing products, it’s also a place to people-watch and take selfies.
Not only Canadian Armed Forces come to recruit at the Pride, Canada’s secret agency CSIS does the same.
