Something to Remember, Something to Cherish.

By: Janarthan Sadacharalingam

I had the honour of being the first Tamil Canadian to participate at the Canadian Soccer Association’s 2011 National Challenge Cup. This prestigious tournament dates back to 1913 and knowing I’m the first Tamil to participate in the men’s tournament and represent Ontario at the men’s level, I felt so much pride. The six day tournament (Oct. 5 to Oct. 10) was held in Brossard (South Montreal), Quebec, and I had to bring back something positive to those that supported me in getting here and to our Tamil community.
