The target range at the Estonian House closes its doors

As of September 1st, 2020, the shooting range which the Toronto Estonian Rifle and Pistol Club (TEPP) established and operated in the Eesti Maja attic level for more than 50 years has closed.

Despite the public promises for a leaseback period of nearly 2 years after the sale of the Estonian House, TEPP received a ‘Notice of Termination’ from the Estonian House Board on July 29th. The termination notice demanded TEPP to vacate the premises as of Sept 1st.

A few days later, Estonian House published an announcement in Eesti Elu to inform the public that ‘One change will happen faster than we could have expected. Namely, after the finalization of the sale, the new owner of the House has found that the shooting range needs to be closed – a change that affects not only the gun club (TEPP), but others as well (e.g. scouts and guides), who have been users of the range.’
