As a proud member of the Labrador West and North Shore communities, IOC is deeply invested in the vibrancy and sustainability of local and Indigenous communities. The needs of communities require contributions and efforts from many sources such as government, industry, and community organizations. IOC aims to invest where there are gaps that cannot be filled by other areas of the community and where IOC is best positioned to deliver a meaningful positive impact.
IOC’s social investment approach seeks to deliver lasting, positive outcomes and a legacy of valued contribution for the communities where we partner and operate.
All applications must be submitted at least three months prior to the event or project start date. IOC reserves the right to withhold awarding of the social investment if a suitable application is not received. To learn more about our social investment application process, please click here .
