Born and raised in Port Colborne, Vance spent more than 35 years in the private sector – a 4th generation operator of the family business, Badawey Marine Ltd. Founded in 1922 by his great-grandparents, Badaweys grew from a Mom and Pop grocery store to a ship chandler, providing food and services to the shipping industry.

He also founded Vance Badawey & Associates Inc., a firm dedicated to recognizing operational opportunities and establishing and implementing corporate strategies for a wide variety of clients from the public and private sectors.

Vance began his career in public service as a City Councillor for the City of Port Colborne in 1994, and then as Mayor of the city for four terms (1997-2003, 2006-2014). During his tenure, which included serving as one of the city’s representative at Niagara Regional Council, he served on numerous local, provincial, national and bi-national agencies, boards and commissions, including the Niagara Regional Police Services Board.

He was also a community volunteer with the Port Colborne Kinsmen Club, United Way, the Knights of Columbus and coached youth hockey and soccer.

A member of Métis Nation and one of 12 Indigenous members in the House of Commons, Vance continues to reside in Port Colborne with Leanna. He has two daughters, Logan and Jordan, and two grandchildren, Hudson and Harper.

Vance is a three-term (2015 – present) Member of Parliament for the riding of Niagara Centre, which includes the municipalities of Port Colborne, Welland, Thorold, and south St. Catharines.

Currently, Vance serves as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indigenous Services. He is also co-Chair of the Canada-US IPG Great Lakes St. Lawrence Group, focusing on the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence, protecting the economic, environmental, and social aspects of the largest surface of freshwater in the world.

He is also a Member of the House of Commons Liaison Committee, and belongs to the Canada-United States Inter-Parliamentary Group, Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association, and the Canada-Ireland, Canada-Israel, Canada-Japan, and Canada-Italy Interparliamentary Groups.
