Historique
On January 23, 1869, an Act was passed establishing the Department of Public Works for Ontario. The Act also established that the Department was to be presided over by the Commissioner of Agriculture and Public Works. This Commissioner, although responsible for both agriculture and public works, was referred to simply as the Commissioner of Public Works when dealing with matters related to public works. This situation was formally changed in 1874, when legislation was passed establishing a separate commissioner to be responsible for the Department of Public Works.
In 1900, both the Office of the Commissioner of Highways and the Bureau of Labour were established as part of the Department of Public Works. In 1914, the Office of the Commissioner of Highways (by then renamed the Highways Branch), was elevated to Department status, becoming the Department of Public Highways. Similarly, by 1919, the Bureau of Labour had become the Department of Labour.
Also in 1900, the Colonization Roads Branch was transferred to the Department of Public Works. Formerly with the Department of Crown Lands and responsible for constructing and repairing roads in sparsely settled areas of the province, this Branch was transferred to the Department of Lands, Forests and Mines in 1919.
The Department of Public Works continued to exist until 1972, when its programs and functions were taken over by the newly created Ministry of Government Services.
