Lionel Loganathan’s family immigrated to Canada from Sri Lanka in 1985, escaping the civil war and genocide that plagued their homeland. His father, a limousine driver, worked tirelessly to provide for the family, embodying the resilience and sacrifice common among immigrant families. Loganathan’s upbringing in Scarborough and Markham, Ontario, shaped his identity and values. He recounts his father’s long hours and dedication, emphasizing the work ethic instilled in him by his parents. This narrative is a microcosm of the broader immigrant experience in Canada, where many families work hard to secure a better future for their children.
