      History

      The Operations Division was created within the Ministry of Correctional Services on September 1, 1984. It resulted from a merger of the former Institutions Division and the Community Programs Division.

      Many of the branches that had existed in the two predecessor divisions ceased to exist, and the new division was instead divided into a number of regions (Central, Eastern, Western and Northern), which in turn were responsible for providing services in their region.

      In 1993, when the Ministry of Correctional Services and the Ministry of the Solicitor General were merged, the Operations Division continued to exist. In 1994, it was replaced with the Correctional Services Division.
