Working Together With The Land
The Indigenous Resource Opportunities Conference is committed to celebrating accomplishments and fostering meaningful, equitable partnerships that support Indigenous-led economic participation in B.C.’s Natural Resource Sector.
Our objective is to facilitate building enduring partnerships between Indigenous communities and the resource sector through sustainable and respectful resource development. By building these relationships, IROC seeks to promote inclusivity, self-determination, economic empowerment, and the protection of Indigenous rights and culture at all stages of resource development.
