Originally from Cameroon, Ivan Touko moved to Edmonton in the summer of 2012 to attend the University of Alberta in a bilingual degree in Environmental Sciences & Conservation.

In his journey of finding a home away from home, Ivan deeply immersed himself in the Albertan community while dancing, volunteering and co-founding many student groups and projects in the Edmonton area. Ivan is now the recipient of Alberta's Top 30 under 30 award and the Founder & CEO of a few social enterprises such as La Connexional & BOM YEG. Being passionate about dance, Ivan also finds happiness in sharing his love for movements & community building through his open-level Afro Fusion Dance workshops.

Today, Ivan is excited to keep pursuing his entrepreneurial journey in Edmonton and is continuously looking at new opportunities, especially in the social innovation, & entertainment spaces. Ivan has now organized, curated and/or hosted over 80+ experiences in the Albertan region and is always interested in growing his network through his many passions and endeavors.
