      Historique

      The Division of Fish and Wildlife was created in 1946 when the former Game and Fisheries Department was absorbed into the Department of Lands and Forests. The former department became a division, and the branches within the department became sections of the new division.

      The Division of Fish and Wildlife was organized into four sections: Enforcement, Commercial Fisheries, Game Fish, and Wildlife. In addition, a group of staff provided specialized support, and operated the Fire- arms Safety Program, Hunter Training, the Wildlife Management Course, and administered Tourist Outfitters Licenses (transferred to Dept. of Travel and Publicity in 1958). The division was responsible for a research laboratory in Lake Opeongo laboratory when it was created, and established additional research stations at Maple, at South Bay, Manitoulin Island, at Wheatley on Lake Erie and at Glenora on Lake Ontario.

      The division ceased to exist in 1959 and was replaced with the Fish and Wildlife Branch.

          Notes de maintenance

          Canadiana Authorities has a heading "Ontario. Division of Fish and Wildlife" (which refers to a latter division of the same name). However, we have two divisions of the same name and therefore the ministry name has been added to the heading.
