History
The Arts, Sports and Fitness Division of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation was formed in late 1979 when the Arts Division and the Sports and Fitness Division were combined. The new Division consisted of three branches: Arts Services Branch, Cultural Industries Branch, and Sports and Fitness Branch.
In July 1980 the Division was split, with the arts functions forming the new Culture Division and the sports functions becoming part of the new Field Services, Sports and Recreation Division (later renamed the Community Programs, Sports and Recreation Division).
