    History

    The Division of Trade was formed within the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism in November, 1973 through a restructuring of the ministry. At that time, the former Business Development Division was divided into three divisions, one each for Trade, Tourism and Industry.

    The Trade Development Branch within the old Business Development Division was replaced by two branches within the new Division of Trade: the International Marketing Branch and the Domestic Marketing Branch (international and domestic offices of the ministry did not form part of the Division of Trade - they were administered by the Small Business Operations Division).

    On January 1, 1977, the Ministry of Industry and Tourism was once again re- structured. The Division of Industry and the Division of Trade together became the Division of Industry and Trade.

    During the 1980's, a second Trade Division was formed, within the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
