I would like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to members of the members of the Canadian Estonian community on the occasion of Estonia Independence Day.
On February 24th, 1918, the Estonian Declaration of Independence was read in the capital city of Tallinn. This proclamation established the foundation of the Republic of Estonia. Although the Republic was incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1940, Estonia once again gained full independence in 1990. Since then, February 24th has been celebrated both as the day of the first Declaration of Independence, as well as Estonia’s National Day.

Pearson and thousands of Canadians watched on Parliament Hill as the Canadian Red Ensign, bearing the Union Jack and the Shield of the Royal Arms of Canada was lowered and then, on the stroke of 12 o’clock noon, Canada’s new flag was raised.
