FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FIRSTSERVICE CORPORATION ANNOUNCES 2-FOR-1 STOCK SPLIT

TORONTO, Canada, December 1, 2004 - FirstService Corporation (TSX: FSV.SV; NASDAQ: FSRV) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a stock dividend doubling the number of FirstService's outstanding subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares and effectively achieving a 2-for-1 stock split. The stock dividend is payable on December 22, 2004 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 15, 2004, with each outstanding subordinate voting share being entitled to one additional subordinating voting share and each outstanding multiple voting share being entitled to one additional multiple voting share. By doubling the number of shares outstanding, it is anticipated that there will be a corresponding reduction in the market price per share.

Trading in the Company's subordinate voting shares on a post-stock split basis on The Toronto Stock Exchange and on the NASDAQ National Market is expected to commence on December 13, 2004.

Upon completion of the stock split, the total number of shares outstanding will be 29,841,408 of which, 28,515,714 will be subordinate voting shares and 1,325,694 will be multiple voting shares. All equity-based instruments including stock option plans will be adjusted to reflect the additional shares resulting from the stock split.

Share certificates representing the stock split, effected in the form of a dividend, will be mailed to shareholders of record on or about December 22, 2004. Existing share certificates should be retained by shareholders and not returned to FirstService or its transfer agent. FirstService is ascribing essentially no monetary value to the stock dividend. Accordingly, there will be no tax payable by shareholders in respect of the dividend. For additional information, shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisor.

"This 2-for-1 stock split will make FirstService's subordinate voting shares more accessible for individual investors thereby broadening our shareholder base and increasing our liquidity," said Jay S. Hennick, President and Chief Executive Officer.
