Youth Ambassadors General Donovan Martin has been participating in Folklorama since he was born! Fun fact: his parents met at Folklorama!
Youth Ambassadors General Vivian Shen had her first Folklorama experience when her dance academy was invited to perform at the Chinese Pavilion! She has volunteered with the Indochina Chinese Pavilion and helped organize guests on VIP since then!
Adult Ambassadors General Jan Reyes has been involved with Folklorama for close to 20 years, and that is all thanks to a girl he had a crush on - who is now his wife!

When the owner of A Taste of Africa came to Canada from South Africa just over 20 years ago, his children begged him to make them Biltong, the South African equivalent of jerky.
