About

This blog is by an Estonian discovering her childhood dream country Canada. Based in Toronto, but sometimes traveling. Looking for an Estonian connection in the far away country and giving away tips about what to see, what to do, what to experience. Hence the name of the blog: Toronto. Canada. Estonia.

First time in Tartu College



When few months ago I heard that in Tartu College in Toronto they have rooms for rent, I was thinking that this is some kind of a school. The reality proved to be something else. This is basically a non-profit organization established by the Estonian community in Toronto. Tartu College is advancing Estonian scholarship, contemporary studies, archival research and cultural activities. They have weekly lectures, events and sometimes workshop and it is all in Estonian. Local Estonian community can rent out the venue for free for their educational events and also parties.

I visited it first time this weekend and found it interesting. Many people were present, but mostly elderly, as the community is getting old. I will definitely come back here, as they have pretty good programme.
