History
The Ministry of Citizenship was established on September 27, 1987 following the division of the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture into two separate ministries.
The ministry's functions were carried out by several branches, including the Policy Services Branch, Citizenship Development Branch, Native Community Branch, Ontario Welcome House, and the Anti-Racism Secretariat. Various financial and administrative support services, including human resources and legal services, were provided to the Ministry of Citizenship by the Finance and Administration Division of the Ministry of Culture and Communications (1987-1993), and by the Corporate Services Division of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation (1993- 1995).
Agencies which reported to the ministry included the Ontario Human Rights Commission, the Advisory Council on Multiculturalism and Citizenship (OACMC), the Advisory Council on Senior Citizens (OACSC), the Advisory Council on Disability Issues (OACDI), and the Employment Equity Commission.
In 1995, the ministry was merged with the culture and recreation sections of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation to form the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation.
