2011 IEOA Truck Light Parade & Food Drive
                                

 

























A SYMBOL OF PROGRESS
The Island Equipment Owners Association (IEOA) was formed in 1964 to create harmony amongst those in the heavy equipment, hauling and gravel fields, with an objective of better service at a fair rate. Much thought, planning and effort has gone into the IEOA to promote the interest and conserve the rights of those engaged in the contracting industry. The main operations of the IEOA relate to heavy construction industries, road building and municipal services. 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 have a membership of 173 companies.

The IEOA was incorporated in June 1964. The founding members were:

  • Len Wakeman, Wakeman & Trimble Contractors Ltd.
  • John Kissinger, Kissinger Bulldozing
  • Tony Trace, Webb & Trace Ltd.
  • Pat Carson, Pat Carson Bulldozing Ltd.
  • Robert Copley, Copley Bros. Contracting Ltd.
  • Ken Oliver, Midland Construction Ltd.
  • John Chew, Chew Excavating Ltd.
  • Lorne Broughton, Mutual Equipment Rentals Ltd.

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.

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 and the Truck Light and Food Parade encourages us to continue the founding traditions of the IEOA.

MISSION STATEMENT:

We the members of the IEOA will strive to promote the principals 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
