Information Services Corporation (ISC) is a publicly traded Saskatchewan business corporation responsible for the development, management and administration of: registries – land titles, personal property, corporate and survey registries; geographic information; and access to government services for people and business.
ISC has an exclusive agreement to provide registry and information services to the Government of Saskatchewan. Under this agreement, ISC is responsible for the management and operation of the land titles, personal property, and corporate registries, the land surveys directory, geographic information, and access to certain government services for business.
The Government of Saskatchewan manages the contractual relationship with ISC through the Office of Public Registry Administration at the Ministry of Justice. This Office contains the government-appointed registry officials responsible for oversight of each of the registries and the land surveys directory.
Three government agencies came together to form ISC in January 2000: the Land Titles Office (which was then a part of the Department of Justice), the Personal Property Registry (also part of Justice) and the Surveys, Mapping and Geographic Information Systems division of the Saskatchewan Property Management Corporation.
In 2008, the Vital Statistics Registry, which had been a part of the Department of Health, was transferred to ISC.
In June 2013, the Vital Statistics Registry transferred to eHealth Saskatchewan. The Corporate Registry (formerly known as the Corporations Branch as part of the Ministry of Justice) became part of ISC in October 2010. In 2011, ISC launched Business Registrations Saskatchewan. In 2013, Information Services Corporation became a publicly traded company.
ISC employs over 300 people and has offices in eight Saskatchewan communities: Humboldt, Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Prince Albert, Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current and Yorkton.
For 2012 and 2013, ISC was named by Mediacorp one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers, a Top 20 Saskatchewan Employer, and one of Canada’s Greenest Employers. For 2012, ISC was also named by Mediacorp one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People.
