History
The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation was established in February 1993 when the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation amalgamated with the Culture Division of the former Ministry of Culture and Communications.
The Ministry was organized into four divisions: the Culture Division, the Tourism Division, the Recreation Division, and the Corporate Services and Organizational Planning Division.
Agencies which reported to the Ministry included the Art Gallery of Ontario, CJRT-FM Inc., the Huronia Historical Advisory Council, the Niagara Parks Commission, the Ontario Arts Council, the Ontario Heritage Foundation, TVOntario, the Ontario Lottery Corporation, Ontario Place, the Ontario Science Centre, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Royal Ontario Museum, and Science North, among others.
The Ministry continued until 1995, when its tourism functions were transferred to the new Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism, and its culture and recreation functions were combined with the Ministry of Citizenship to form the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation.
