Eesti Majandusklubi Kanadas (EMK), or the Estonian Business Club in Canada is conducting their annual general meeting on June 14th at the Toronto Estonian House Crystal Hall at 6.30 PM, followed by dinner. The EMK board of directors invites all those interested to attend.
The club's membership has become younger in recent years and the emphasis on activities is not so much on the social - although the contacts and connections made in a convivial atmosphere still remains a significant part of EMK membership - but on seminars and lectures, discussions about investment strategies and the like. Allowing for the demographic realities a good command of Estonian is no longer expected;in the spirit of tolerance discussions are conducted in English as well. A connection with Estonia and business is the only requirement for membership. Please see the longer article in our Estonian language pages for more on EMK's activities and future goals.
For more information please call Uno Jaason — 905-884-4224 or Jaan Arro — 416-449-4209.

Peter, you can scold us for our Estonian if your own is an example to us all.
Is that a fact? How have you ascended to such heights?

Peter...you are so off the mark that it just can not be ignored.
1. EMK does not consist of the richest Estonians in the Toronto area... the efforts to attract them have been unsuccessful, but really it is no one's "job" to get them to join the club. Participation and membership is voluntary.
2. EMK
has many segments and presentations (not all ) in english because all of us have been educated in our respective field in english and english is all of our working language. English is used for clarification purposes and this should not be confused with abandoning our heritage!
Also, this means that there is a warm welcome to non estonian spouses.
" Tolerance" for everyone is a given...that is not even an issue.
3. EMK members are not screened by net worth. Many are just average working Estonians living a mid standard, but they have an INTEREST to know more about Business.". I believe that EMK , as a group do not have significantly more financial resources than other Estonians in Toronto, BUT TO ALL ...there is no excuse for any of us not to be able to try to speak Estonian whenever and whereever possible .
4. Sorry I don't know of any member with a nanny.
5. Every income and age group visits Estonia.
6. Perhaps you should come to a meeting to confirm the above and take back your insults.
Häbi on mõeldud tigedatele ja pahatahtlikutele inimestele.
Eesti Majandusklubi tervitab kõiki vaatamata nende majandusliku tasele ega sissetulekule.

Where, in Canada, can you find intolerance for the Estonian-speaking minority?
