ISC was formed as a Crown corporation in 2000, but it has a history that goes back much further. In fact, the Land Registry that ISC maintains today originated in the late 1800s, when the Dominion Land Survey began.
Before ISC, the Land Registry was administered by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Justice. Land was registered and titled manually at various Land Titles offices around the province.
In 1995, the Land Titles Automated Network Development (LAND) project began with the goal of re-engineering and automating Saskatchewan’s Land Titles and Plan Processing systems. This involved converting over 10 million documents and 50 million pages of records to electronic forms. When ISC was formed five years later, we were given the responsibility to complete the LAND project and to integrate the Land Titles system with Geographic Information System (GIS) data.
Over the years, our services have expanded to include the vital statistics, survey, personal property and corporate registries and related geographic information.
