Irving Oil

As we prepare to say goodbye to 127 summer students – our largest group to date – we were thrilled to surprise 10 randomly selected students with $1,000 bursaries at a summer celebration last week. "My summer with Irving Oil has been incredible," says Sydney Power, a Brand Ambassador and member of our summer crew, who was one of the lucky bursary winners. "I learned from my peers, mentors and even from myself about how I can connect my interests with my work." Congratulations to all the winners: Stephen Hurly, Sydney Power, Sayed Saker, Sam Beaulieu, Megan Hanley, Lauryn Scott, Evan Taylor, Rachel Hardy, Ethan Dever and Carter Greer. We're grateful to all of the students who joined us across our business this summer. We're inspired by your hard work and dedication as you continue to pursue your dreams.

Love for our community ❤️ Our team members and their families gathered to celebrate diversity and belonging in the Saint John Pride parade this past weekend. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ We're always proud to celebrate with our community and embrace a culture of equality and belonging for all. 

40 years of Big Stops 🎉🍽️ On this day, August 17, in 1984, we celebrated the grand opening of our first Big Stop, located in Aulds Cove, NS. The celebrations included a performance by country music legend Hank Snow, hot air balloon rides and festivities with the community. It would mark the start of the tradition of serving a taste of home on the road for Professional Drivers, locals and travellers across our region – with 22 Big Stop restaurants now serving customers throughout Eastern Canada and Maine. "What I value most is the longstanding dedication of our employees," says Arnold Hurley, the current operator of our Aulds Cove Big Stop. "Our servers provide remarkable service. They feel worthy, recognized and seen – not just as a business, but as the backbone of our success." Thank you to the hardworking individuals who have been with us from the beginning and those who have joined us along the way – making these restaurants a cornerstone of our communities. Thank you for choosing Big Stop restaurants for 40 years – and here's to many more. Learn more about our Big Stops at irvingoil.com/bigstops.

For Alicia Omar, a Talent Acquisition summer student with our HR team and fourth-year Business student at the University of New Brunswick, her co-op term with Irving Oil has been full of development opportunities, providing new and exciting experiences to hone her skills. “There can be so much learning done outside the classroom, especially when you have supportive mentors,” she says. This summer, Alicia has been working directly with a mentor who has helped her understand new perspectives and to feel empowered to share her ideas. Alicia, along with many of our students, recently participated in a hackathon – an event where students work together to streamline parts of our business. Presenting on a range of topics, Alicia and her team spoke on digitizing our supply chain using data-driven decision-making. “One thing I will take away from this experience is improving my communications skills,” says Alicia. “I’ve gained the confidence to speak up in group projects and share my thoughts and opinions.” Thank you to our employee resource group, All-In, for providing learning opportunities for our students and to all our teams who continue to mentor and work with inspiring minds, every day.

From all of us at Irving Oil, we’re wishing our employees, our customers and our communities a safe and happy long weekend – wherever the road takes you. ☀️🌊 📍: Crescent Beach, Lunenburg County, NS

After Brad M. fuelled up at our Irving location in Brunswick, ME, swiped his Irving Rewards card and went on about his day - he didn't expect his typical stop would soon win him FREE Fuel for a Year. "I couldn't believe it was real," says Brad. “We had plans to take our boat offshore fishing - a 15-year family tradition. Now, we'll be able to do so much more with our family and friends this summer." You can fuel up with Irving for your chance to WIN Free Fuel for a Year or Free Fuel for Life!
