History
The International Offices Branch was established within the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Trade, in 1982. The branch acquired responsibility for the administration of the ministry's foreign offices from the former Industry Operations Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism.
The Branch operated eight offices in the United States (Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Philadelphia); four offices in Europe (Brussels, Frankfurt, London, and Paris); and two offices in Asia (Hong Kong, and Tokyo). In 1985, the Branch became part of the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology.
In 1986, the International Offices Branch ceased to exist. With this change, the various foreign offices of the Ministry were divided between four new branches: the US and Latin America Branch; the Europe, Middle East and Africa Branch; the Pacific Rim Branch; and the China and South Asia Branch.
