      History

      Huronia Historical Parks was established in 1968 within the Ontario Department of Tourism and Information to take over the responsibility of planning, constructing and operating Sainte-Marie among the Hurons and the naval and military establishments at Penetanguishene from the Huronia Historical Development Council - which continued to work closely with the branch in an advisory capacity.

      In 1972, responsibility for Huronia Historical Parks was transferred from the Department of Tourism and Information to the Ministry of Natural Resources. With this change, Huronia Historical Parks was renamed as Huronia Historical Sites, and attached to the Historical Sites Branch.

      In 1975, however, it was renamed Huronia Historical Parks once again, and transferred to the newly established Ministry of Culture and Recreation, where it formed a part of the Heritage Trust office.

      Since 1975, Huronia Historical Parks has formed a part of a variety of branches within the several different ministries, and currently resides within the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism.
