The Field Title Service data collection is the backbone of the Freehold Land database and was built from a paper database collected on recipe cards and hand drawn platsheets. Much of the historical data collected comes directly from Land Title offices in Western Canada. Today, IHS updates Alberta Freehold Title information weekly, Saskatchewan bi-weekly, British Columbia (Fort St. John) quarterly and Manitoba (Neepawa & Brandon) asavailable. Updates include transfer of titles, new titles and leases. Some of the attributes you will find in this dataset include active and historical caveats, ownership, leasing status, current lessee, mineral rights and detailed land descriptions. ALBERTA FREEHOLD CONSENT In 2005, the Provincial and Federal governments of Canada passed legislation under PIPA (Personal Information Protection Act) and PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), preventing IHS from disclosing Freehold ownership information without the consent of the land owner. IHS has been actively working to gather land owner consents and is committed and motivated to continually increase coverage for our energy customers. UNIT AGREEMENTS Unit Agreements exist for the pooling of producing mineral rights for the mutual benefit of all interested parties. Units are operated as if they were a single lease by the Unit Operator and can contain both Crown and Freehold lands.
