      History

      In 1971, the Department of Energy and Resources Management was reorganized and renamed the Department of the Environment in order to better reflect the Department's increased responsibilities with respect to environmental protection, conservation and preservation as outlined in the Environmental Protection Act of 1971.

      The Department consisted of the Office of the Minister, the Office of the Deputy Minister, an Administrative Services Branch, the Air Management Branch, the Waste Management Branch, and the Conservation Authorities Branch.

      In 1972, the Department of the Environment was amalgamated with the Ontario Water Resources Commission to form the Ministry of the Environment.
