About | Vantage Enterprises Ltd.

Who are we?

Vantage Enterprises Ltd. (Vantage) is a Disability Service Provider based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Since its foundation in 1995, Vantage has been working in partnership with individuals, families, communities, and government, actively seeking opportunities for the promotion of individuals to engage and benefit from full citizenship.

We acknowledge Treaty 7 territory—the traditional and ancestral territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy: Kainai, Piikani and Siksika as well as the Tsuu T’ina Nation and Stoney Nakoda First Nation. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.

individual preferences are reflected in people’s homes, workplaces, and community activities.

Each of us needs positive relationships to grow. Growth is realized through our interconnections and

personalized supports. Each individual is encouraged to develop and share talents while building

relationships.

Our beliefs are modeled through inclusion and harmony. Through alliances and partnerships, we

connect to communities. These valued connections are conveyed in all we do, strengthening personal

goals of individuals with disabilities.
