Biography
[edit | edit source]Born in Velika Kladuša, Cejvanovic was displaced during the Bosnian War and spent time in a United Nations refugee camp on the border with Croatia, then over the border in the town of Pula, before moving to Canada with his mother Rahmana at the age of four, having been sponsored by a church.[2] They settled in Burnaby, British Columbia.[3]
