      History

      From 2000 to 2002, this branch was part of the Culture, Sport and Recreation Division. When Culture became its own Ministry in 2002, this branch became part of the Culture Division.

      From 2000 to 2003, this branch was comprised of the following two units: Cultural Agency Coordination and Arts and Cultural Industries Unit.

      In 2004, this branch was dissolved but the Arts and Cultural Industries Unit and Cultural Agency Coordination Unit continued on. The Cultural Agency Coordination Unit, later renamed the Culture Agencies Unit, became part of the Programs and Services Branch in 2006. The Arts and Cultural Industries Unit came under the Policy Branch in 2006. The unit's functions were transferred to the newly-formed Culture Policy Unit in 2009.
