History
In 1989 the Communications and Marketing Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications was replaced with the Marketing and Information Services Branch. The Branch reported directly to the Office of the Deputy Minister and comprised three sections: Corporate Communications and Administration, Marketing and Public Relations, and Media Production Group.
In 1991 the Branch was re-organized into five sections: Administration; Marketing/Public Relations-Culture; Marketing/Public Relations- Citizenship; Editorial Services; and Graphic Services.
In February 1993 the Branch became part of the Ontario Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation. Shortly thereafter, some staff were transferred to the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship to form that Ministry's Communications Branch. The portion remaining with the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation became part of the new Corporate Affairs Branch.
