Impacts

Our goal is to help Indigenous-led projects create economic prosperity and strengthen communities – here and now, and for generations to come.

AIOC supports Indigenous investment that provides real, immediate financial returns to First Nations and Métis groups that enables the Indigenous leadership to determine how those revenues are used to support their communities’ objectives and participation in the economy.

The AIOC Impact

To date, AIOC has supported eight deals, providing over $745 million in loan guarantees and directly benefiting 43 First Nations and Métis Groups in Alberta. We are starting to see the results of Indigenous partnerships. These transactions are yielding meaningful returns. First Nations and Métis groups have utilized revenues to purchase land, improve facilities, and reinvest in other economic development projects.

Bridging Gaps

In this impact video, Indigenous nations and groups speak on the transformational benefits that are possible through their full participation in the economy, and the ripple effects this has for all Albertans.

Whitefish (Goodfish)

This year, after more than 30 years without a recreation facility, Whitefish (Goodfish) Lake First Nation opened the doors to a brand-new multiplex.

With support from AIOC’s loan guarantee program, the Nation invested in infrastructure projects that generated stable revenue, making it possible to secure financing for the new facility and gathering place.
