    History

    The Board of Industrial Leadership and Development (BILD) was a committee of the Ontario Cabinet, established on November 13, 1980.

    The Board consisted of Frank Miller, Treasurer of Ontario and Minister of Economics, as chairman, along with Larry Grossman, Ontario Minister of Industry and Tourism, as vice-chairman. Other members of the Board were: Robert Welch, Ontario Minister of Energy; Rene Brunelle, Provincial Secretary for Resource Development; James Auld, Ontario Minister of Natural Resources; Leo Bernier, Ontario Minister of Northern Affairs; Bette Stephenson, Ontario Minister of Education and Colleges and Universities; and Robert Elgie, Ontario Minister of Labour.

    BILD identified six major themes as priorities for comprehensive development. These were: electricity, transportation, resources, technology, people, and community. Funding was provided to Ministries to establish programs and offer grants promoting these priorities.

    A Secretariat existed to provide the Board with administrative and other support services.

    In early 1984, the office of the Ontario Youth Commissioner was established and attached to the Board of Industrial Leadership and Development.

    BILD was disbanded in June 1985.
