Indian Oil and Gas Canada (IOGC)

We serve the unique needs of each First Nation to best manage their oil and gas resources.

IOGC manages and regulates oil and gas resources on designated First Nation lands across Canada. We are a special operating agency within Indigenous Services Canada. Our dual mandate is to fulfill the Crown's fiduciary and statutory obligations related to the management of oil and gas resources on First Nation lands and to further First Nation initiatives to manage and control their oil and gas resources such as governance.
