Ralf Jarchow Community Service Award
In September 2015, while completing a bicycle fundraiser for Peel Memorial Hospital, Ralf Jarchow tragically passed away in British Columbia. Ralf was a founding partner of Prouse, Dash & Crouch, LLP, a longtime member of the PLA and other local organizations as well as a Peel resident - his involvement, contributions, and support to the community were deep and widespread.
The Ralf Jarchow Community Service Award has been established by the Peel Law Association in recognition of the outstanding contributions and support Ralf devoted toward many organizations in the Peel community.
As a further recognition and celebration of how Ralf lived his personal and professional lives, the PLA has created this award in order to recognize a PLA Member’s work as a volunteer and/or their service to the Peel community.
In 2017 the Board of Directors presented the Ralf Jarchow Community Service Award to Robert Callahan.
