History
The Industry and Labour Board was created on March 25, 1937, and was defined as a body corporate under the Department of Labour Act.
At creation, it had two branches under its jurisdiction: the Apprenticeship Branch and the Minimum Wage Branch. From 1937 to 1944, at various points the Industrial Standards Branch was also subordinate to the Board.
In late 1963, the Industry and Labour Board was moved to the jurisdiction of the newly-created Labour Standards Branch, although the board continued to exist. Gradually, most of the functions of the Board were absorbed into the Labour Standards Branch, except for the Apprenticeship Branch, which became a completely separate branch.
As of January 1, 1969, the Labour Standards Branch was renamed the Employment Standards Branch and the remaining functions of the Industry and Labour Board were absorbed by the branch.
