    Historique

    The Information Branch was established within the Ontario Department of Agriculture in 1958, and absorbed the publications functions of the former Statistics and Publications Branch. Between 1958 and 1964, the Information Branch co-operated closely with the Department of Public Relations of the Ontario Agricultural College, which then formed a part of the Department of Agriculture. The Information Branch gradually assumed functions of the College, until 1965 when the College officially became a part of the University of Guelph.

    The branch originally reported to the Chief Agricultural Officer. After 1966, the branch became part of the Department of Agriculture and Food and reported directly to the Minister and Deputy Minister as part of the Ministry's administrative services.

    In 1972, the Information Branch was replaced by a branch of the same name within the new Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
