    History

    The Policy and Program Development Division was created in April 1981 to consolidate policy functions previously dispersed throughout the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. Between 1981 and 1982 it was known as the Childrens’ and Adults’ Policy and Program Development Division.

    This division was headed by an Assistant Deputy Minister and reported directly to the Deputy Minister throughout its existence.

    The division ceased to exist in 1986. It had no immediate successor, as its functions were divided amongst a large number of branches and divisions within the Ministry.
