    History

    Information Services was formed in 1968 when the Department of Trade and Development replaced the Department of Economics and Development. The branch grew out of the Information Services and Exhibition Sections of the former Trade and Industry Branch.

    In 1972, when the Department of Trade and Development was replaced by the Ministry of Industry and Tourism, Information Services ceased to exist. Most of its functions were assumed by the Public Relations Branch of the Communications Division of the new ministry, and functions relating to the production of films were assumed by the Audio-Visual Branch.
