ISC Government Of Ontario Signs Agreement To Deliver New Digital Records System For Property Information

• ISC to develop and operate a new digital records system for environmental property information.
• New digital portal will enable 24/7 self-service access to environmental property records, creating a faster, more efficient service.
• Following an initial build phase expected to last two years, the contract includes a seven-year operating term, with extension options available at the sole discretion of the Government.

REGINA, Saskatchewan – Information Services Corporation (TSX: ISC) (“ISC” or the“Company”) has entered into an agreement with Ontario's Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (“MECP”) to deliver a new digital records system. The project is part of MECP's Modernization of Property Information (“MPI”) Program, which is focused on improving access to environmental property information across Ontario.

“This project exemplifies how ISC drives digital transformation through scalable and secure solutions that enhance access to essential records and clearly aligns with our expertise in land and property-related registries and solutions,” stated Shawn Peters, president and CEO of ISC.“We look forward to working with the Government of Ontario to implement a system that improves access to environmental property records, supports faster response times and helps enable land development across the province.”

Under an initial nine-year term, with extension options available at the sole discretion of the government, ISC will develop and operate a digital records system that includes system design, security and privacy frameworks, quality assurance and testing, and ongoing support. The system will digitize and redact millions of legacy property records.

This initiative will improve response times for environmental property information requests related to soil, water, and contamination. It will also help facilitate land transactions and support decision-making tied to land development across Ontario.

“The Ontario government receives over 9,000 property-related information requests each year to support land transactions worth more than $40 billion,” said Todd McCarthy, minister of the environment, conservation and parks.“With ISC's support, the move to a secure, self-service portal will be a game-changer for builders - reducing wait times from around 30 days to as little as 3 - and giving the industry the tools it needs to deliver housing faster and keep our economy strong.”

ISC will begin implementation in August 2025, with the system anticipated to launch in 2027. The new digital portal will provide 24/7 self-service access to environmental property records. It is expected to enable faster, more efficient service and reduce reliance on the current Freedom of Information process for property-related information.

As the chosen partner for MECP, ISC will deliver the solution through its Registry Operations and Technology Solutions business segments. The Company will be responsible for the design, development, and ongoing operations of the new digital records system.
