Teatame rõõmuga, et vabatahtlikud on koos Eesti Majaga teinud maja eest ilusaks. On istutatud siniseid ja valgeid lilli ja pandud mustadest puutükkidest maakatet; teema on sini-must-valge. Kavandi tegi vabatahtlik Rick Hutchings, kaua-aegne Toronto Eesti Maja sõber ja landscape disainer. Kaastöölised, kes käed külge lõid seni, olid:
Ellen Leivat, Rick Hutchings, Ester Kivi, Rein Kuris, Agnes Malve, Ingrid Laar, Roul Martjak, Leena Temisevä, Dina Karampatsou, Ingrid Sepp-Jaenes, Kristiina Valter
Sügisel istutame taimi juurde. Töö käib edasi ja kutsume kõiki huvilisi eest aeda õitsema panema.
We are pleased to announce that volunteers together with the Estonian House have landscaped the front yard. Ellen Leivat who has seen many themes for the front yard over the years kicked off the effort by digging out thick tree roots. Another friend of the Estonian House, Dina Karampatsou volunteered her time and materials. The design was created and donated by friend of the Estonian House and landscape designer Rick Hutchings. Many others helped in the purchasing, planting, and watering. In the fall, more plants will be added. We welcome everyone interested in helping to continue to bring the front yard into bloom!

"Escape the city without ever leaving town" is the title of that Globe and Mail article, Friday Aug 4 2017. It fits.

Rooftop patios, like the one envisioned for Eesti Maja and the one recently opened in a similar Broadview building, are very much THE trend of the future (with urban roofs in general the new focus of "green").
Likewise, Estonian House has the halls, floor and stage for dancing and music that makes it THE place in east end Broadview-Danforth for the ever-growing dance and movement communities (salsa, ballroom, contact improvisation etc.) alongside Dovercourt House in the west. Toronto Salsa Fridays, (and it's not alone) with a large following, uses the grand hall and the adjoining hall for 2 separate dance styles- it's perfect and packed with enthusiastic "movers" - again, a major future trend (movement educators, functional movement, youth and adult camps for contact impro, etc.). A natural fit with a rooftop patio!
Nice to see the flowers and patio chairs by the main entrance when I chanced upon the lovely new front yard and the TSF event. Makes one think ...
There is so much potential for rentals and mixed use, with a showcase and continued vibrancy for things cosmopolitan and Estonian.

I must say that the front yard of the Esto House is very attractive. I did a double take when I was at the Esto House in the last few weeks! My view is that the Friends should limit their "improvements" to such short term initiatives. Capital repairs (e.g. new roof) are beyond the scope of this group. They do not own the building, and as bystanders, legally cannot alter it. I admire their passion. With respect to the roof, what strings are attached to the grant. Transparency in this regard would be appreciated.
