Eesti Elu has always connected the community through words.

We’ve collected the sweet memories and the heartfelt good-byes. The longing for independence back home and the celebration-tears of achieving it. The precious traditions that our community has kept alive and the new ones created on Canadian soil.

Week by week, we have preserved the story of Estonians abroad – a small population achieving great things, building a legacy from scratch. A community that has built churches, community houses, countless organizations, a credit union, camp sites, stores – all from the ground up.

And we will continue to do so. The Estonian future ahead is bright – leaders in e-society, a stellar education system, outstanding literacy rates, groundbreaking innovations and skyrocketing unicorns. And these are just a few of the things that make this nation special.

We are all part of this epic story, at home and abroad, in big or small ways.

We can’t do it without you.

We believe in balanced reporting – whether you are for or against that new development, whether you agree with your club member’s beliefs or would challenge them – we will listen and give you space to voice your thoughts. This is a space of free expression, which serves its readers and its community without discrimination.
