The International Estonian Centre shared some local Annex community spirit on November 9, 2020, by gifting five birch trees that were planted in the Paul Martel Park, directly opposite the IEC site on Madison Avenue. Pictured left, from left to right are park stewards Donalda and Paul; Thomas Heinsoo, owner of Heinsoo Insurance; Anita Saar, CEO of Northern Birch Credit Union; Ellen Valter, Board Chair of NBCU; David Kalm, IEC Project Manager; Linda Karuks, General Manager of Tartu College; Brian Burchell, Chair of the Bloor Annex BIA; Kairi Taul Hemingway, President of Estonian Central Council in Canada; and Anita Nippak Genua, a Viru Vanemad donor to the IEC project and Annex resident.
