Roper Greyell was thrilled to be a Presenting Disruptor (title sponsor) for Disrupt HR, a dynamic and innovative event seeking to revolutionize the way we think about human resources.

Last week, Roper Greyell’s Andrew Peng delivered a captivating presentation on the future of privacy and surveillance in the workplace titled “Let Big Brother Protect You” at the Disrupt HR conference in Victoria.

Last week, Roper Greyell Associate Jaime Hoopes attended the Immigrant Services Society of BC’s (ISSofBC) 2024 bursary awards ceremony on behalf of the firm.

For over 50 years, ISSofBC has worked to provide a range of key services, including employment and career ambitions, for immigrants and refugees who arrive and live in British Columbia.

At Roper Greyell, we hold ourselves accountable to being active members of our community with a focus on giving back and making a positive impact. This is one of the reasons why this award sponsorship with ISSofBC is aligned for our firm.

It was our honour to sponsor this bursary to an outstanding individual, Miguel Soria, pursuing a law career here in Canada.

It’s Truth and Reconciliation Week. A time to learn about Indigenous history, engage in meaningful conversations, and contribute to our collective path toward reconciliation.

At Roper Greyell, we take this time as an opportunity to learn more about the history of Canada’s Indigenous peoples and our role as a community in preserving Indigenous culture. As a part of this ongoing commitment, our team will be attending a learning session this week put on by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.

Additionally, in observance of Truth and Reconciliation, Roper Greyell is honoured to make donations to two very important organizations—Aboriginal Mother Centre Society and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.

The Aboriginal Mother Centre Society provides an environment where Aboriginal mothers and their children thrive in an equitable and supportive community that is rich in cultural and holistic values.

The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation is focused on listening to Survivors, their families, communities, and others affected by the residential school system and to educate Canadians about their experiences.

Roper Greyell was thrilled to once again sponsor Pro Bono Going Public by the Access Pro Bono Society of BC.

Greg Heywood and Norika Takacs-Rehm also volunteered their time to provide critical legal services to individuals and families of limited means.

Throughout September, 246 lawyers provided free legal advice in British Columbia to raise awareness and funds for BC’s pro bono programs.
