History
In 1963 the Department of Education separated the human resource management function of the Business Administration Branch and established the Personnel Branch to manage the Department's personnel resources.
In 1965, the Personnel Branch became part of the Administration Division. When the Department of Education was reorganized into the Ministry of Education in 1972, the Personnel Branch became part of the Administrative and Financial Services Division, Ministry of Education.
In 1979, the Personnel Branch of the Ministry of Education was merged with the Personnel Branch of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, and became part of the Administration Division (renamed Administration and Finance Division in 1980) of the Ministry of Education.
In 1981, the Personnel Branch became part of the new Administration and Planning Division (renamed Administration Division in 1984). From 1984 to 1986, the Personnel Branch reported to the Executive Director, Human and Corporate Resources Division, who reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister, Administration Division.
In January 1987, the Personnel Branch was merged with the Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Unit and the Excellence in Leadership Unit to form the new Human Resources Branch.
