Community Introduction: Meet Taia from Estonia

We would like to introduce Taia, a university student from Estonia. Taia is in Canada and doing her internship here.

Taia has obtained the required documentation from the Town of Grimshaw. Taia is passionate about education and as part of her internship is working with Southwestern Advantage and offering educational resources and learning materials for children.

She is also using her time in Canada to experience Canadian culture and learn more about the communities she visits. This post is simply to help introduce Taia. As mentioned above she has obtained the permit from the Town of Grimshaw. Please know that she is not employed by, or affiliated with, the municipality or any local schools.

We hope the community will make Taia feel welcome and help her experience the kindness and friendliness that makes Grimshaw such a great place to be!
