It started like this: I moved to Collingwood two and a half years ago. I had heard there were a few Estonians here – some year-round and more, who have cottages here.
One day, my husband was at the hardware store, wearing a Seedrioru shirt. A young man came up to him and said “tere.” Since then, I have heard of more and more Estonians in the area. I decided it was time to get everyone together, and when better than the weekend of Estonian Independence day!
It was a nice evening and we met some “new” Estonians. We were twenty-two in total and expect more the next time.
If you would like to find out about the next event, a Facebook group was created: Georgian Bay Estonians
