History
The Heritage Conservation Section (originally named the Historical Planning Section) was established in 1977 within the Historical Planning and Research Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation. The name of the Section was changed to the Heritage Planning Section in mid-1979, and to the Heritage Conservation Section by late 1981.
In December 1982, with the creation of the new Heritage Branch, the Heritage Conservation Section was combined with the Architectural Conservation Section of the defunct Heritage Administration Branch to form the Architecture and Planning Unit.
