      History

      The Local Government Organization Branch was established in April 1972 as part of the new Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs. It assumed some of the functions of the former Municipal Organization and Administration Branch of the Department of Municipal Affairs.

      The branch formed part of several ministries over time, including the Ministry of Treasury, Economics, and Intergovernmental Affairs (1972-1978), the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs (1978-1981), the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (1981-1985), and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs after 1985.

      In 1989, the Local Government Organization Branch ceased to exist. Some functions went to the new Municipal Government Structure Branch, while policy functions went to the Municipal Planning Policy Branch.
