The Good Old Hockey Game
We love it. And we're also thankful for the opportunity to help over 20,000 AAA Bantam hockey players in Atlantic Canada get in the game through our sponsorship of 35 teams. Plus, top-level Bantam league players get the chance each year to shoot and score their way to victory through the Irving Oil Challenge Cup. |

The Business of Shaping Young Minds
As a major sponsor of Junior Achievement in New Brunswick, we've been involved with the program since its inception 20 years ago when our founder, K.C. Irving, helped launch the New Brunswick chapter. JA helps young people discover leadership, entrepreneurial, and workforce readiness skills. |

Restoring the Past for the Future
Irving Oil undertook a major restoration of the historical Old Burial Ground in Saint John as a gift to the people. The original burial ground of the United Empire Loyalists dates back to 1783. But by the 1900's, the cemetery turned memorial garden was in a state of disrepair. The restoration program refurbished the entire site, and the magnificent Beaver Fountain was created for all to enjoy for generations to come. |

The Acadian Flag Blossoms
In 2004, a 20,000 square foot display of the Acadian flag, made from more than 100,000 red, white, blue, and yellow flowers, bloomed in celebration of the birthplace of l'Acadie and the 2004 World Acadian Congress. It was one of the many ways we wanted to say thank you to our Acadian employees and customers who've helped build our company through the years. |

Keeping Out the Cold
Imagine not having a snowsuit or boots in the middle of winter. We think no child should ever have to. That's why our annual Clothes for Kids program in support of the Empty Stocking Fund raises money to buy brand new clothing for needy kids. |

One Mitten at a Time
Our Warm Mitten Wishes program helps bring a little joy to families in New England by granting wishes of a gift or clothing item to needy kids just in time for the holidays. Our employees are so dedicated to this program they even received a Key People Award from the United Way. |
