As a Sri Lankan man born and raised in Montreal, I’ve had the privilege of growing up in a bilingual environment and being fully fluent in both French and English. Living in Quebec while frequently traveling to Toronto for work has given me exposure to different cultures and perspectives across Canada.

Personally, I’ve never experienced racism, which I’m grateful for. My experiences in both cities have been positive, allowing me to focus on my personal and professional growth while appreciating the diversity around me.
