Creative Vistas, Inc. Names Barry Simons to Lead Field Deployment Services for North America.

Telecom Executive With Extensive Background in Cable Operations and Marketing Will Spearhead Company's North American Expansion of Field Deployment Services

WHITBY, Ontario -- Creative Vistas Inc. (OTCBB:CVAS), a leading provider of advanced video security and surveillance solutions as well as broadband-related services, announced today that it has named Barry Simons to lead all field deployment operations of Cancable, Inc., its cable and broadband provisioning subsidiary. Barry Simons was also the President and Owner of the recently acquired XL Digital Services, Inc.

Mr. Simons, 53, will oversee the rollout of CVAS' field deployment services. This will also include the deployment of CVAS' DependableHome branded home based networked surveillance and related product offering through its internal field services deployment channel, as the Company expands to new markets in the U.S. as well as Canada. A veteran of 25 years in the telecommunications business, until 2005 he was the Chief Executive Officer of 180 Connect, a Denver, Colo.-based cable and satellite fulfillment service that he founded in 2000 and helped build into a company with over $300 million in annual revenues. Customers of 180 Connect have included Comcast, Cox, Time Warner, Cablevision, Hughes Network Services and DirecTV.

Earlier, in 1988, he founded XL Communication Services, a cable deployment services company that by 1998 was serving over 5 million subscribers in 12 locations. Mr. Simons started his career in cable in 1982 as manager of sales at Videotron Ltd., and was director of marketing at CableCasting Ltd., then one of Canada's largest cable operators, from 1983 to 1987. During his five years with CableCasting, he launched one of the first discretionary tiers in Canada (which has since become a North American industry standard) and won three industry Awards for Excellence.

Sayan Navaratnam, Chairman and CEO of Creative Vistas, said, "We are excited to have someone of Barry Simons' track record and industry standing to lead the expansion of our broadband-related field deployment services for cable customers in the U.S. and Canada. Among other things, Mr. Simons is widely recognized as a leader in educating installation and service technicians in the direct marketing of value-added products to the residential end user. Part of our expansion strategy is to effectively sell and promote network based additional products and services to the residential customer as a "trusted advisor" through our technician channel. We are confident that Mr. Simon's reputation and proven leadership in sales and marketing will effectively optimize the very solid technician channel we currently deploy and manage. The addition of Mr. Simons to an already strong management team, improves our capability to execute on our expansion strategy significantly."
