(b) depositing plans and descriptions of land under the Navigable Waters Protection Act (Canada);

(c) registering,

(i) orders of the Governor in Council that transfer jurisdiction and control of land from the Government of Canada to the Government of Ontario, and

the lands that comprise the national parks and Indian reserves set forth in Column 2 of the Schedule are annexed to the respective registry divisions set opposite thereto in Column 1. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 992, s. 1.

2. (1) The land registrar of a registry division to which a national park or Indian reserve is annexed shall keep an index book in Form 1, to be called the “Canada Lands Index” in which he or she shall record plans, descriptions and orders filed, deposited or registered under clauses 1 (a), (b) and (c). R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 992, s. 2 (1).

(2) Instruments to which clause 1 (d) applies shall be recorded in accordance with section 20 of the Act. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 992, s. 2 (2).

(2) Where, in the opinion of the land registrar, more than one page or series of pages is required in respect of any national park or Indian reserve, he or she may divide the park or reserve for recording purposes, and shall keep a separate page or series of pages, appropriately headed, for each division of the park or reserve.

6. (1) Despite section 2, where, before the 1st day of April, 1967, an abstract index was kept for land in a national park or Indian reserve, the plans, descriptions and orders to which section 2 applies may be recorded in that abstract index in lieu of recording in the Canada Lands Index. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 992, s. 6 (1).

(2) Where an abstract index is kept for land in a national park or Indian reserve and plans, descriptions and orders in respect of such land are recorded in the Canada Lands Index, the land registrar at the time of the recording of the first such plan, description or order shall enter in red ink under the proper heading in the abstract index the following notice:

“Subsequent dealings are recorded in the Canada Lands Index, volume (no.) commencing at page (no.)”.

R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 992, s. 6 (2).

9. The requirements of this Regulation may, with the approval of the Director, be varied to apply to special circumstances. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 992, s. 9.

11. Where a plan, description or order relates to land that is the whole or a part of a national park or Indian reserve and the land is registered under the Land Titles Act with Her Majesty in right of Canada as the registered owner, the plan, description or order shall be recorded under that Act in the parcel register for the land.
