Community
Ansatel participated in raising $400,000 fund in partnership with the university’s development office. The fund is called the UBC Centennial Scholars Major Entrance Awards for Aboriginal Students.
As a small local business, we believe in the importance of giving back to the community, which has supported us over these years. At the heart of Vancouver and what creates the very essence of this city is its people. By working together with individuals from local associations, President of Ansatel, Sarup Mann has proudly supported numerous charities and organizations. Below are some of the more recent initiatives that Ansatel and Sarup Mann have been a part of.
