During the 2004-2005 school year, the school was in the CTV late night news for collecting over $800 in under 20 minutes for tsunami relief help. The school's Global Issues Council runs the Halloween 4 Hunger Food Drive, which collects over 3,000 non-perishable food items for the Oakville Fairshare Foodbank each year. The Council also runs World Vision's 30 Hour Famine and raises more than $10,000 each year. In October 2006, the school set a world record for the most people "standing against something" (part of the school's "Stand for Sudan" project), which was published in the 2007 edition of the Guinness World Records. In 2007, Stephen Lewis came to Iroquois Ridge to honor the students for raising $21,000 towards the Stephen Lewis foundation. During the 2009-2010 school year, with a $6.2 million infusion from the Province, Iroquois Ridge became one of the first secondary schools in Ontario with the installation of 25 large solar panels on the roof of the school. This was the class of 2010's graduating gift. In May 2011, the school raised $48,000 during its Relay For Life event for cancer.
