      History

      In 1941, the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests was considerably reorganized, and the various branches of the Department were renamed as divisions. With this change, the Surveys Branch was replaced with the Division of Surveys.

      During this reorganization, the new Division acquired responsibility over the Aerial Surveys Section from the Forestry Branch.

      The Division of Surveys was renamed the Division of Surveys and Engineering in 1944, when it was given responsibility over the leasing of water power on Crown lands and the authority to approve plans for the construction of dams.
