      History

      Archaeology and Heritage Planning was established as a section within the Cultural Programs Branch of the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation, in early 1995.

      The new section was formed when the archaeology-related functions of the Heritage Programs Section (carried out by the Archaeology and Marine Heritage Unit) were removed to form a separate section within the Cultural Programs Branch.
