      History

      The Finance and Administration Division was established in 1985 as a result of a reorganization in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The Finance and Policy Division merged with the Foodland Preservation and Improvement Division and the Administration Division to form the new body.

      The Finance and Administration Division oversaw the following branches: Farm Assistance Programs Branch (1985-1990), Foodland Preservation Branch (1985-1990), Management Systems Branch (1985-1993), Financial and Support Services Branch (1985-1993), Personnel Branch (1985-1988), Human Resources Branch (1989-1993), Audit Services Branch (1985-1993), Crop Insurance and Stablilization (1985-1990), Guelph Development Project (1991-1993), and French Language Services (1992-1993).

      In 1993 the Ministry of Agriculture and Food re-organized, and the Finance and Administration Division disbanded with most of its responsibilities taken over by the newly created Corporate Services Division.
