    History

    First established in 1975 as part of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation, the Finance and Administration Division became part of the new Ministry of Citizenship and Culture in 1982. When the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture was disbanded in 1987, the Finance and Administration Division was transferred to the newly established Ministry of Culture and Communications. The Division also provided financial and administrative services to the Ministry of Citizenship. In 1990 the Division was replaced by the Corporate Services Division.

    The Division was headed by an Executive Director from 1975 to 1986, and by an Assistant Deputy Minister from 1986 to 1990.
