History
The Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation was established in June, 1995 with the merging of the Ministry of Citizenship with the culture and recreation sections of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation.
The Ministry was organized into six divisions: the Policy and Planning Division; the Corporate Services and Organizational Planning Division; the Program Management Division; the Ontario Anti-Racism Secretariat; the Culture Division; and the Recreation Division.
Agencies which report to the Ministry include the Archives of Ontario, the Employment Equity Commission, the Ontario Human Rights Commission, Art Gallery of Ontario, the Conservation Review Board, the Ontario Arts Council, TVOntario, the Ontario Heritage Foundation, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and Big Thunder Sports Park Limited, among others.
On February 8, 2001, the culture and recreation functions of the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation were transferred to the newly formed Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation. The citizenship function was transferred to the Ministry of Citizenship on February 8, 2001.
