History
The Heritage Policy Branch was established within the Culture Division of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications in April 1991. The new Branch acquired some of the staff and functions of the former Heritage Branch.
In December 1992, the Culture Division was reorganized and the Heritage Policy Branch was dissolved. The policy functions formerly carried out by the branch were assumed by the Arts, Heritage and Cultural Industries Policy Branch, while program and regulatory functions were assumed by the Culture Operations and Field Services Branch.
