History
The Community and Safety Initiatives Section was created in 1986 and was originally known as the Community Initiatives Section. It formed part of the Sports and Recreation Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. It was formed when the Games and Community Initiatives Section was divided into the Community Initiatives Section and the Games and Technical Section.
In 1987, the section was renamed the Community and Safety Initiatives Section when responsibility for the new Safety in Sports and Fitness program was added to the section's mandate.
In 1990 the Sports and Fitness Branch was dissolved and replaced with the Provincial Recreation Programs Branch and the Recreation Policy Branch. The Community and Safety Initiatives Section was also disbanded with many of its functions assumed by the sections of the newly established Provincial Recreation Programs Branch.
