PEOPLE ARE TALKING

“Festivals such as the Calgary International Film Festival simply would not be possible without the amazing support of our sponsors and partners. In addition to assisting the festival with some critical Board recruitment, Pekarsky & Co. has stepped up with a two year sponsorship commitment for which we are extremely grateful. It’s great to partner with a firm that ‘walks the walk’ when it comes to community involvement.”
Steve Schroeder, Calgary International Film Festival Executive Director
“Over the past seven years, Pekarsky & Co. and in particular Adam Pekarsky, have generously donated both time and resources to the Gordie Howe CARES Alzheimer’s Pro-Am by both sponsoring and through team participation in the hockey weekend. Through Pekarsky & Co.'s fundraising efforts, they have raised over $430,000 towards the care and resources of those living with Alzheimer's and related dementias in Alberta. We have been fortunate to partner with Pekarsky & Co. to continue to support our community.”
Leslie Gallacher, Event Producer, Gordie Howe CARES Pro-Am
“Pekarsky and Co.’s long-term commitment to the Calgary Women’s Emergency Shelter speaks to their deep desire to truly create a better city for everyone. As an ongoing sponsor of our annual Turning Points Gala, Adam Pekarsky and Ranju Shergill ensure Calgarians experiencing family violence and abuse have the support and the safe Emergency Shelter facility they need. In addition to their philanthropic contributions, their energetic staff have helped us sort toys for children over the holiday season.
Paul Chambers, Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter
"Adam has always been one of our staunchest supporters - and one of our best friends. Whenever we've asked anything of him, he's been there for us. Whether it's working with me personally, or with our Career and Professional Development Office, or with our students directly, Pekarsky & Co has been a real partner in our progress. We love working with them!"
Dr. Ian Holloway PC QC, Professor and Dean of Law, University of Calgary
“Adam, a dynamic, engaging presenter and individual, has been an integral contributor to UCalgary Law students. His ability to engage his audience is phenomenal and he has provided concrete, practical advice to Faculty of Law students through various speaking engagements. Adam has also coached and personally mentored UCalgary Law students and his commitment to supporting our students is phenomenal. We can’t thank Adam, and Perkarsky & Co., enough. We appreciate your sponsorship of our student-organized events and we can’t thank you enough for investing your time in the upcoming generation of lawyers.”
Maryanne Forrayi, Faculty of Law, University of Calgary
"Pekarsky & Co. played an influential part in Global Lawyers of Canada's early developmental success. They not only sponsored our inaugural event, but we had the pleasure of Adam Pekarsky, who is a very dynamic speaker, give a short presentation to the audience about the importance of multiculturalism in the legal profession. We are truly grateful for their continued support".
Bill DeJong, Jr.
