History
The Ministry of Industry and Tourism was formed in 1972 from the amalgamation of the Department of Trade and Development with the Department of Tourism and Information.
The Ministry consisted of a number of different branches which were organized into divisions. These divisions included: the Division of Tourism (1973- 1982); the Communications Division (1972- 1982); the Administration Division (1972- 1982); the Small Business Operations Division (1973-1976); the Policy and Priorities Division (1977-1982); and the Division of Industry (1973-1976) and the Division of Trade (1973-1976) which were merged to form the Division of Industry and Trade (1977-1978) and then renamed the Industry Division (1979-1982).
Agencies which reported to the Ministry included Ontario Place, the Development Corporations, the Ontario Research Foundation, Ontario House in London, England, and the various Travel Information Centres across the Province.
The Ministry continued to exist until 1982, when legislation was passed to divide it into the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation and the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
