      History

      The Community Services Division was created within the Ministry of Community and Social Services in 1986, centralizing policy and program development functions for children, the disabled, and the elderly in Ontario.

      From 1986 until 1989, the division was headed by an Assistant Deputy Minister and reported directly to the Deputy Minister. From 1989 until 1990, however, the division was run by an executive director and reported to the newly created Office of the Assistant Deputy Minister, Community Services.

      The division was disbanded in 1990. Functions relating to policy and program development for the elderly and the disabled were assumed by the Community Health and Support Services Division and functions relating to children’s services were assumed by the Children’s Services Branch.
