      Historique

      The Game and Fisheries Department was established in 1907 from the merging of the Board of Game Commissioners with the Fisheries Branch of the Ontario Department of Public Works.

      Although the enabling legislation referred to it as the Game and Fisheries Branch, it was generally referred to as the Game and Fisheries Department. This was formally changed in 1916, when an amended Ontario Game and Fisheries Act was passed and the term "Branch" was replaced with "Department" in the title of the agency.

      The Department was directed by a Superintendent until 1914, when a Deputy Minister was placed as the head of the department. The Department reported to the legislature through a number of Ministers, including: the Minister of Public Works (1907-1919); the Minister of Mines (1920-1931); the Provincial Secretary (1932-1941); the Attorney General (1941-1942); and the Provincial Secretary again, from 1942- 1946.

      An Experimental Fur Farm was established by the Department in 1926 at Kirkfield, Ontario, and in 1929, a Fish Culture Branch was established.

      In 1946 the Department was incorporated into the Department of Lands and Forests as the Division of Fish and Wildlife.
