The Estonian Central Council (EKN) has awarded its Medal of Merit (teenetemärk), recognizing significant and lasting contributions to the community to these worthy recipients. Pictured from left are Eerik Purje, Liina Purje-Lepik, Lia Hess, Elle Puusaag, Vaado Sarapuu and August Tuvikene. The medals were given out at the Toronto Estonian House on February 26th, at the traditional gathering honouring Estonian war veterans, held right after the local Independence Day assembly.

It seems very clear that you would like the shape the future of the Canadian Estonian community according to your own vision. That's fine by me, as long as you're willing to tow the line a bit more, and show a little more interest in doing something useful for our community. I understand that you don't particularly like ideas and opinions that aren't in line with your own, and perhaps that may be a good thing in the long run if that's what it takes to pull our community together and for you to put forward a new vision for us. You seem to encourage a lot of people here, and I think that it would help others if you were to take on a more visible role within our various organizations. Your comments certainly point to a very healthy regard for mstters Estonian.

You might start by being more tolerant of EKN-s English language statements. Better still, get out there and do something useful for this group instead of being an armchair critic. They get my full support as it is.
