The Island Equipment Owners Association (IEOA) was formed in 1964 to create harmony among those in the heavy equipment, hauling and gravel fields, with an objective of better service at a fair rate.  More Information on our About Us Page. To Become A Member, Please See Our Contact Page

Mission Statement:
We, the members of the I.E.O.A., will strive to promote the principles of superior workmanship, rate equity and value. 
Further, we resolve to pursue an attitude of community involvement through donated projects for the purpose of returning a benefit to the local area in which we live and work. 

The quality and dependability of the membership, whose skill, capability and integrity have been established in the area, are the reasons why you deal with a greater measure of confidence with a member of the ISLAND EQUIPMENT OWNERS ASSOCIATION.

 The Association represents a large number of civil contractors, equipment suppliers and operators and industry related dealer/suppliers on southern Vancouver Island. The IEOA currently has a membership of 173 companies.


 Giving Back To The Community:  Over the years the focus of the organization has been invigorated and expanded with particular emphasis on filling needs within the community that benefit and relate to members of the Association. The extraordinary way in which so many of our members come together to support our community projects encourages us to continue the founding traditions of the IEOA.  Because of our Members and their generosity in supporting the community, these projects were made possible:
