      History

      In mid-1983 the Arts, Heritage and Libraries Division of the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture acquired responsibility for the Regional Services Branch, and was subsequently renamed the Culture and Regional Services Division.

      The new Division consisted of four branches: the Arts Branch, the Heritage Branch, the Libraries and Community Information Branch, and the Regional Services Branch. In addition, the Division provided the administrative staff for the Ontario Heritage Foundation.

      In 1984, when the Regional Services Branch was moved to the Finance and Administration Division, the Culture and Regional Services Division was renamed the Culture Division.
