Whitehorse Mayor Dan Curtis delivers lesson in diversity with turban-tying and Bhangra

GURDEEP Pandher says he’s “citizen of the universe, born in village Siahar (Punjab), lives in Whitehorse, Yukon (Canada)” on his Facebook – and he has just got that universal recognition with his video teaching Whitehorse Mayor Dan Curtis how to wear a turban and then dance the Punjabi traditional dance, the Bhangra, in the city council chambers.

The seven-minute video has been featured on a raft of TV news shows.

Pandher, an author and dancer, moved to Canada in 2006 and has been living in the Yukon since 2012.
