      History

      In 1964, the Department of Energy Resources acquired responsibility over the Conservation Authorities Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests, and was renamed the Department of Energy and Resources Management.

      The Department consisted of the Office of the Minister and the Office of the Deputy Minister, along with three branches - the Energy Branch, the Conservation Authorities Branch, and an Administrative Services Branch.

      Two agencies - the Ontario Energy Board and the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission - also reported to the Department of Energy and Resources Management.

      In 1970, the Air Management and Waste Management Branches of the Department of Health were transferred to the Department of Energy and Resources Management. However, in this same year, the energy responsibilities of the Department, including the Ontario Energy Board, were removed and transferred to the Department of Mines and Northern Affairs.

      As a result of these changes, the Department of Energy and Resources Management was renamed the Department of the Environment in 1971.
