100% Island owned and operated

Columbia Fuels, a privately held company based in Victoria, BC, is the largest supplier of home heating products on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. In addition to residential and office heating products and services, Columbia Fuels also services the commercial market with IslandPASS, Vancouver Island’s largest fuel cardlock network, and bulk fuel/lubricant supply. Established in 1993 and growing since, it is 100% Island owned and operated and now employs more than 200 employees in nine different communities.

It has displayed environmental responsibility through choice of low sulphur oil, low emission additives and oil tank protection programs (preventing leakages).
