    History

    Marketing and Public Relations was originally established as the Public Relations Section of the Communications Branch, Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation, in 1979. In 1982, the section was transferred to the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture, and in 1983, it was renamed the Communications Group.

    The Group was renamed Media and Public Relations in mid-1985, and then in early 1987 its name was changed again to Marketing and Public Relations.

    In late 1987, Marketing and Public Relations was transferred to the Ministry of Culture and Communications and formed a part of the Communications and Marketing Branch.

    In 1991, Marketing and Public Relations was divided into two separate units: Maketing/Public Relations-Culture, and Marketing/Public Relations- Citizenship.
