      A Vancouver couple is among the competitors in the latest season of the Amazing Race Canada.

      Human resources professional Aarthy Ketheeswaran, 25, and software developer Thinesh Kumarakulasingam, 28, are first-generation Canadians who are dating and moved from Toronto to live in Vancouver.
