During both World Wars, Ioco was used as a port for ships and submarines to re-fuel and stock up on supplies. There were barracks located in Ioco behind the school, used to house veterans that were assigned to guard the Ioco Refinery as well. Ioco residents also aided in the war effort by organizing Red Cross groups to sew clothes for the soldiers over seas or by gathering groups together to travel into Vancouver clinics to donate blood. The Junior Red Cross groups also carried on in Ioco after the war. Some of the members taught swimming lessons at the beach near Ioco.
