      Historique

      The Bureau of Municipal Affairs was established in 1917. With the creation of the Bureau, the Provincial Municipal Auditor, a position established by legislation in 1897, became an officer of the Bureau. The Bureau was administered by a Director, and in addition to the Auditor, consisted of various clerks. The Bureau reported to the Legislature through the Provincial Secretary.

      In 1919, the Bureau acquired responsibility over the Ontario Housing Act, and a Housing Branch was established. This Branch existed until 1928.

      In 1932, the functions of the Bureau of Municipal Affairs were assumed by the Ontario Municipal Board of the Attorney General's Department. By late 1934, however, a Department of Municipal Affairs was established to take over the administrative and regulatory functions of the Ontario Municipal Board (essentially those functions which were formerly the responsibility of the Bureau of Municipal Affairs).
