    History

    The Race Relations Division was established in 1982 within the Ontario Human Rights Commission, replacing the former Committee on Race and Ethnic Relations and Public Education.

    The Division was headed by a Commissioner for Race Relations.

    In 1987, the Race Relations Division was moved from the general responsibility of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, and made directly responsible to a Minister of the Crown, who was titled "Minister Responsible for Race Relations and Ontario Human Rights Commission".

    In 1988 the Race Relations Division was replaced with the Race Relations Directorate, which became part of the Ministry of Citizenship. The new directorate was headed by an Executive Coordinator.
