Kourosh speaks regarding the relationship between immigration and culture and the hardships of his Father while moving from Iran to Canada in search of a better life.
Kourosh is a seasoned athlete who competes at the provincial level in swimming as well as being a star achiever of the Collingwood school athletics program as a dedicated member of the basketball, soccer and swim teams. In addition to possessing an avid passion for both athletics and academics, he also excels in the realm of public speaking and leadership. Some of his experiences include serving as a house captain on his school’s student leadership team and participating in IISPSC, an international public speaking competition. The core focus of his speech will be based on immigration and culture and its affect on the community.

He is looking forward to sharing reflections and interests about a topic that is of profound relevance in today’s multicultural society.
