Darren Ramdour brings us back in time to tell us about a small yet incredibly diverse island named Mauritius. The island was the birthplace of dance and music that was born from the positivity people needed to get through their everyday lives in enslavement. Darren has always been passionate about cultural exchange, however, he became more active after one summer day in 2018. What did he encounter on Granville Street that ignited his decision to engage in bringing the community together? Tune in to find out!

To learn more about Darren Ramdour’s story:

模里西斯(Mauritius)是一個小巧卻多樣化的島嶼，地處在周遭大陸國家的遷徙路線上，因而擁有多元族裔的人口組成。Darren Ramdour 將帶我們回到過去，向我們講述這個迷人島嶼的故事：這裡曾經是已滅絕物種渡渡鳥的家園，也是舞蹈和音樂的發源地－因為當時人們必須在奴役之中保持積極心態才能夠活下去。

擁有四大洲的生活背景，Darren 因而與溫哥華的社區有著非常緊密的關係。但他剛到加拿大時並非如此活躍。 2018 年一個炎熱的夏日，作為一名在市中心巡邏的交通警察，他在固蘭湖街(Granville Street)上看到了什麼促使他開始投入社區事務呢？
