The Ontario Media Development Corporation is an agency of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport. Serving the function of the Ontario Film Commission, the agency's Industry Development Group helps attract domestic and foreign production to Ontario by promoting the advantages of the province as a filming location and post-production center. To do so, the department runs the OMDC Location Database, a resource of digital photo files representing over 10,000 Ontario shooting locations.
If you are interested in having your property/home listed on the OMDC digital locations library, you can either contact them at locations@omdc.on.ca or 416-314-6858 or visit their website https://digitallibrary.ontariocreates.ca/DigitalLibrary/Location/LocationSearch.aspx to register your property.
