History
The Administration Division was originally established in 1972 as the Administration Services Division, and formed part of the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism. In 1974, however, it was renamed the Administration Division.
The Division continued the functions of the former Finance and Administration Division of the Ontario Department of Trade and Development, which ceased to exist when that department was merged with the Ontario Department of Tourism and Information to form the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism.
Branches within the Administration Division included the Personnel Branch (1974-1986), the Human Resources Branch (1986-1990), the Management Services Branch (1977-1990), the Operational Review Branch (1978-1981), the Audit Services Branch (1981-1990), and the Finance and Systems Branch (1974-1990).
For a brief time from 1982 to 1984, the Administration Division was known as the Information and Support Services Division, and encompassed duties relating to public relations through the Communications Branch and the Promotion Services Branch. At the time, the division was structured so that the Communications Branch and the Promotion Services Branch reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister, while the other branches reported to the Executive Director of "Administration", who, in turn, reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister. This arrangement ceased when the Communications Branch and Promotion Services Branch were merged and subsequently reported directly to the Deputy Minister.
In 1990, the Administration Division was replaced by the Corporate Resources Division.
