WHO WE ARE
Estonians in Canada Working Together
Here at Hamilton Estonian Society, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in bringing Estonians and friends of Estonians together. Our goal is to keep the Estonian culture and traditions alive in Canada through events, supporting our summer camps and estonian schools, and keeping you informed of anything we believe our members find relevant. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits.

"We feel free. We're independent. People can be openly proud of being Estonian. I have a lot of belief in Estonia."

SEEDRIORU
Seedrioru property was bought in 1955 by the four Estonian Societies of Southern Ontario; Hamilton, Kitchener, St. Catherines, and London to provide a location to accommodate an Estonian Children's Summer Camp. Volunteering is one of the simplest ways to help our camp and ensure the Estonian culture continues. By starting with our youth, we believe the best way for our initiatives to be successful is for the community to actively get involved with camp. This is an easy and efficient way of contributing to the great work we do at Hamilton Estonian Society. Get in touch! RSVP to our talgud event and volunteer your time today.
