Updates from the Toronto Estonian House heading into 2022

70 Years of Eesti Maja

January 2022 marks the 70th anniversary of Estonian House in Toronto Ltd. as an organization. The entity was founded January 9, 1952 when Enn Salurand (Journalist), Georg Orav (Realtor), Arnold Ketta (Bookkeeper), Otto Roos (Bookkeeper), Nikolai Bockfeldt (Radio Serviceman), Mart Tarum (Barrister) and Hugo Männik (Clerk) got together to be the initial subscribers to the charter that established this corporation.

A total of 310 individuals and organizations joined in this ambitious initiative during its first year of operations, by purchasing shares. While most of these individuals have now passed away, it is with gratitude that we remember their contributions that serve our Estonian community still today.
