Historique
The Cultural Industries Branch was established in 1975 as part of the Arts Support Division of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation.
Since its establishment, the Branch has formed a part of a variety of divisions. These include: the Arts Support Division (1975-1976); the Arts Division (1976-1979); the Arts, Sports and Fitness Division (1979- 1980); the Culture Division (1980- 1981); and the Arts, Heritage and Libraries Division (1981-1982).
When the Ministry of Culture and Recreation was disbanded in February 1982 and the culture functions moved to the new Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture, the Branch became part of the new ministry. However, the Cultural Industries Branch was dissolved by April, 1982. Responsibility for cultural industries and the Half Back program were transferred to the Arts Branch, and the theatre consultant became part of Grants Management Branch.

Fonctions et activités
The Cultural Industries Branch promoted for-profit cultural ventures, especially in the publishing, film, recording, and commercial theatre industries in Ontario. It undertook research into corporate and private funding of the arts and worked with provincial ministries and other levels of government to develop coordinated polices for supporting the growth of cultural industries.
The branch was involved in projects such as the stimulation of sales of Canadian paperback books and attendance at performing arts events through the Half Back program involving the redemption of Wintario lottery tickets; negotiation of the province's acquisition of the Wintergarden/Elgin theatres in Toronto; providing loan guarantees and interest subsidies to book publishers under a joint program with the Ontario Development Corporation; providing grants to film festivals such as the Festival of Festivals in Toronto and the Animation Festival in Ottawa; and supporting cultural awards shows.
