About Us
ICDPRO is 100% Indigenous-owned and -operated. Our collective team has a combined experience of over 100 years in Indigenous community and economic development. We have served over 30 Indigenous communities to help them move into more prosperity and improved well-being. We have also worked with non-Indigenous organizations and governments. Our experience in both sectors enables us to offer Indigenous communities the best of both worlds.
Industry Experience & Expertise
Oil & Gas
We may be moving toward a more “green” future, but oil and gas is still very much a going concern and will be for several decades. Our experience and expertise in the oil and gas industry has served our clients very well.
Utilities
Indigenous equity partnerships with utility companies are growing. Our Team know the in and outs of the utility industry and help Indigenous communities participate in ownership of the utilities that service their communities and territories.
Mining
Several of our Team have extensive experience working with mining companies in British Columbia. Our experience in negotiating agreements has secured millions of dollars for our Indigenous partners.
Supporting Businesses: JV's & Agreements
There are unlimited numbers of supporting businesses for oil and gas, utility, and mining companies. We help identify those opportunities and prepare your community to create businesses or JVs with existing businesses to fulfill capacity.
