How NEST came into being
Some details are being verified, so this is a placeholder for now. We would rather wait and get it right than publish something that is not yet confirmed.
What we can say today: NEST was established in 2020 by a small group of Nepali community members in Thunder Bay who understood what it means to leave home and start fresh in a new city.
