    History

    The Office Services Branch of the Ontario Department of Justice was originally established in 1964 as the Operations Branch of the Department of the Attorney General. The name was changed to Office Services in 1970. In 1972, it became part of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General, but by 1973, it had been dissolved. The functions of the Branch were at this time absorbed by the Financial Management Branch (later renamed the Finance and Services Branch). During its nine years in existence, the branch formed a part of the Administration and Finance Division (later named the Corporate Services Division).
