Kui Raivo ja Anne-Mari Remmel mõtlevad järgmise põlvkonna eestlastele, siis näevad nad tulevikus eredalt põlevat leeki. 

Et tulevikuvaade vaid mõtteks ei jääks, otsustas Torontos elav abielupaar oma panuse anda. Mis tähendas seda, et nad suurendasid oma esialgset annetust International Estonian Centre (IEC) heaks. Kapitalikampaania Viru Vanemate annetajate seast liitusid nad nüüdseks Kalevipoja Laud toetajatega $100,000 toetusega.

Toronto kesklinnas Madison Avenuel IEC ehitustegevuse alustamisjärk on tekitanud Eesti kogukonnas elevust.

Not only is this their hope, the Toronto couple decided to help make it very much a reality. That’s why they have generously increased their donation to the International Estonian Centre (IEC) Capital Campaign from the Viru Vanemad level to become members of the Kalevipoja Laud for $100,000.

With the construction ground-breaking of the new IEC about to take place at its downtown Toronto location on Madison Avenue, excitement is mounting among the Estonian community.

Uued Estonian Arts Centre (EAC) nõukogu liikmed on andnud oma nõusoleku olemasolevat meeskonda oma töö ja nõuga aidata. Nii et meie kohaliku ja globaalse eestlaste kogukonna uuest kodust Toronto kesklinnas - International Estonian Centre (IEC) - saaks paik, mis on täis elavat tegevust ja soojust ning tervitab sõbralikult igaüht. 

Põhitähelepanu pööratakse heategevuslikele toimingutele ja rahakogumisele, ning valvatakse, et kogukonna igapäevane ruumide kasutus ja professionaalne kunstitegevus oleksid keskuses prioriteedid.

Pildina saame ajalugu vaid ühe korra salvestada. Ja nõnda on kolm kohaliku Eesti kogukonna ettevõtlikku esindajat võtnud eesmärgiks mitte ainsatki hetke kaotada uue International Estonian Centre (IEC) kerkimisest.

Tarmo Remmel, Sean Hooper ja Taavi Tamtik panid oma kujutlusvõime ja tehnilised oskused tööle ning tulid välja nutika plaaniga, kuidas salvestada time-lapse fototehnika abil Toronto kesklinna rajatava keskuse ehituskäik. Kõik kolm annavad projekti elluviimiseks oma aega ja varustust.
