      Historique

      The Bureau of Labour was created by legislation on April 30, 1900 and attached to the Ontario Department of Public Works. The Bureau was administered by the Secretary of the Bureau of Labour, who reported to the Commissioner of Public Works. During its sixteen years in existence, the Bureau had three different secretaries: R. Glockling (1900-1905); John Armstrong (1906-1910); and Robert Edgar (1911-1916). In addition to the collection of labour-related information and statistics, the Bureau also established seven Employment Bureaus across the province to provide free information to those seeking employment. These were found in Hamilton and Ottawa (1906), London (1907), Berlin (1908), Brantford (1910), Walkerville (1912) and St. Thomas (1915). In 1916 the Bureau of Labour ceased to exist, and was replaced by the newly-formed Trades and Labour Branch within the Department of Public Works.
