      The Culture Division of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation was formed in July 1980 from the former Arts, Sports and Fitness Division.

      It consisted of two branches: Arts Services Branch and the Culture Industries Branch.

      In 1981, the Culture Division ceased to exist when it merged with the Heritage Conservation Division and the Information Access Division to form the Arts, Heritage and Libraries Division.

      A new Culture Division was re-formed in 1984 within the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture.
