Press Release

Creative Vistas, Inc. Names Dominic Burns to CEO Position

Sayan Navaratnam Retains Role as Chairman

Creative Vistas Inc. today announced that it has named Dominic Burns, President of the Company, to the additional position of Chief Executive Officer. Sayan Navaratnam, who had been both CEO and Chairman, will remain as Chairman.

Burns, 48, has over 20 years of experience in the security integration industry. In 1991 he founded AC Technical Systems Ltd., which later became one of Creative Vistas core business units, and he has been president of AC Technical since then. A graduate of Northern Irelands Belfast College of Technology, Burns also held a radio and navigation license. He has an extensive background in quality controls in the avionics industry and has been a pioneer in transferring that industrys high standards and controls to the security integration market. He has designed a number of internal technical and marketing programs to expand AC Technical's sales and capabilities. Burns has also served on Creative Vistas Board of Directors since September 2004.

In his new position, Burns will oversee Creative Vistas three divisions -- AC Technical, Cancable Inc., and Iview Digital Video Solutions Inc. Among other responsibilities, he will direct Creative Vistas expansion into new markets, particularly in the U.S., and will guide the long-term integration of the Companys business units as they develop new complementary product and service packages.

I am very pleased that Dominic is taking a wider role in this Company as its new CEO, said Mr. Navaratnam. He comes to this position with an impressive record of innovation, operational expertise and high quality standards. Especially worth noting is his success in building AC Technical into a leading provider of integrated video surveillance systems. His technical and managerial skills made this achievement possible, and they are well suited to Creative Vistas current strategy of growth both geographically particularly in the U.S. as well as through our product and service offerings to residential and commercial customers, said Mr. Navaratnam.

Burns commented, I am excited and gratified to be placed in this new position, working closely with Sayan to oversee this fast-growing company. I know from my experience at AC Technical -- the historic core of Creative Vistas that the company already enjoys a strong reputation among high profile customers in Canada. I see my mission as building on this base with new offerings in new markets, but with no retreat from our commitment to quality, second-to-none technology and reliability.

Navaratnam, 33, joined AC Technical as CEO in 2003 and became Chairman and CEO of Creative Vistas when the Company was organized in 2004. As Chairman and CVAS most significant shareholder, he will continue to be responsible for managing the overall vision and growth strategy of Creative Vistas and its subsidiaries.
