      History

      The Industry Branch was created on January 1, 1977 within the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism., replacing the former Industrial Development Branch.

      The Industry Branch formed a major part of the Industry and Trade Division of the Ministry of Industry and Tourism. When the ministry underwent a significant restructuring in April 1979, the Industry Branch and the Industry and Trade Division both disappeared. The functions of the branch were assumed by the re-created Industrial Development Branch.
