La Danse
From July 25, 2003 through August 9, 2003, 250 members of a team composed of church leadership, Gen Xers, native leaders, youth, children, worship and dance teams, traveled from Montreal to Victoria, stopping in a total of 12 cities in 14 days. In each city, teams of local churches welcomed the tour with celebration services with artistic expressions that reflected the city's unique redemptive gifts and cultural attributes. In addition to the thousands of Canadians who participated in these local celebrations, many believers from Canada and around the world, followed the daily coverage on 100 Huntley Street, as well as the interactive La Danse website.
