      Historique

      The Air Management Branch was created in August 1969, when the Air Pollution Control Service of the Department of Health was transferred to the Department of Energy and Resources Management and renamed. This was part of a general move to make all the province's major pollution control agencies responsible to the same minister.

      In 1971, the branch moved to the newly formed Department of the Environment. Subsequently it moved to the Ministry of the Environment upon its formation in April 1972.

      The Branch was composed of a number of sections: Abatement Section; Air Quality and Meteorology Section; Phytotoxicology Section; Approvals and Criteria Section; Automotive Emissions Control Section; Laboratory Services Section; and Noise Pollution Control Section. (The Noise Pollution Control Section moved to the Pollution Control Branch in 1975). Regional offices were scattered throughout the province.

      The Air Management Branch ceased to exist in April 1974. Its responsibilities relating to environmental assessment were transferred to the newly-formed Air Resources Branch while regional offices were transferred to the new Regional Operations Division.
