Erast R. Huculak was a man who came from simple beginnings and achieved great success in the areas of business and philanthropy. He had a legacy of love and appreciation for both Canada and his homeland Ukraine.

Throughout his life, he worked hard to achieve success and was able to give back and support Ukrainian entities in both countries. He always had a desire to share his success with others in need and had a strong determination to continue this support for years to come.

The Huculak Foundation was created in September, 2012 to honour and continue this legacy.
