History
The Ministry of Health Promotion was created in 2005, by combining the functions of the Sports and Recreation Branch (previously with the Ministry of Tourism, Sports and Recreation) and most of the functions of the Public Health Division of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. (Documentation seems to suggest that the actual transfer of the sports and recreation function took some time to be effected, with the Sport and Recreation Branch still showing under the Ministry of Tourism as late as April of 2006.)
It was renamed the Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport in 2010.
Initially, the Ministry was organized into two Divisions: Public Health, and Sports and Recreation. Later this changed to the Sport, Public Health and Community Programs Division; and the Strategic Policy and Pan Am Games Division.
The ministry ceased to exist in 2011 when the sports and recreation function was transferred to the newly re-organized Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, and the public health function was transferred back to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
