History
The Division of Industry was created in November 1973 within the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism when the former Business Development Division was divided into three new divisions, one each for Industry, Tourism and Trade.
The division consisted of the Industry Technology Branch, the Industrial Development Branch, the Industrial Research Branch and the Service Industry Branch.
On January 1, 1977, the Division of Industry ceased to exist when it was combined with the Division of Trade to form the new Division of Industry and Trade. The Industrial Research Branch was disbanded, and its functions moved to new branches within the Planning and Priorities Division. The other branches of the former Division of Industry formed part of the new Industry Branch within the new Division of Industry and Trade.
