WHEN TRADITIONAL Arpo irro chants reverberate across Professor's Lake in Brampton City in August every year, they do not simply signal the conduct of an event of the Malayali community in Canada, but mark the celebration of sportsman spirit, and Kerala culture and heritage at an international arena.

Behind it all is Kurian Prakkanam, a Keralite and Business Ambassador of Brampton City, Ontario province. For the past 15 years, he has been playing a prominent role in organising 'Brampton Boat Race', modelled after Kerala's famous Nehru Trophy, in Canada.
