In October 2021, OALA entered a Memorandum of Understanding with Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) to explore the modernization and enhancement of the Indian Lands Registry System (ILRS) through an Indian Lands Registry System Service Transfer Pilot Project.
This unit is devoted to providing quality technical services in the use of the Indian Lands Registry System through the delivery of hands-on learning to Ontario First Nations who utilize the ILRS to record and track transactions taking place on their reserves/territories.
