The KESKUS project does not have enough money to complete the construction and is looking for additional funds from Estonia, writes Aimar Altosaar in Estonia's Postimees. The general manager of the KESKUS project, Ellen Valter, and the president of the Estonian House in Toronto, Veiko Parming, are fundraising in Estonia, because they are convinced that KESKUS, as part of the soft power of Estonians, will become an important link in Estonia's international security network.

The Canadian government is supporting the planned Keskus International Estonian Centre, due to be built in Toronto, with 750,000 Canadian dollars, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario; the Estonian government has so far not allocated a cent to the new centre, despite the political rhetoric on the importance of supporting the Estonian diaspora.

Heart disease remains the global leading cause of death for both men and women, but women have long been underrepresented in cardiovascular disease research.

The cornerstone for an international Estonian centre called the Keskus was recently laid in Toronto, Canada, marking the first time in over half a century that a new Estonian community hub is being built abroad.

From 31 March to 2 April 2022, the Estonian cultural days are to take place in New York City, arranged by the Foundation for Estonian Arts and Letters.
