Shared Prosperity – AIOC

March 25, 2026

Indigenous equity partnerships are crucial for the success of Canada’s natural resource sector, and, thanks to programs like AIOC’s loan guarantees, they are also on the rise.

“When it comes to building partnerships, equity ownership is where the conversation has shifted,” says AIOC CEO, Chana Martineau.

She further shares how AIOC and provincial and federal loan guarantee programs help address gaps in access to capital and support capacity building. She says, “Indigenous Nations and communities need access to the expertise to invest wisely and manage those investments effectively.”
