    History

    The Policy and Program Division was created in 1990 after a ministry-wide restructuring that dissolved all existing groups within the Ministry of Natural Resources, and replaced them with an Operations Division, a Policy Division, and an Information Resources Division.

    Originally called the Policy Division, the division oversaw the administration of the Compliance Policy Branch, Native Policy Branch, Fisheries Policy Branch, Forest Policy Branch, Lands and Waters Policy Branch, Provincial Parks and Natural Heritage Policy Branch and the Wildlife Policy Branch.

    After a division-wide restructuring in 1993, it was renamed the Policy and Program Division and oversaw the administration of the new Aquatic Ecosystem Branch, Resource Stewardship and Development Branch, Terrestrial Ecosystem Branch, and the Research Science and Technology Branch.

    The Division ceased to exist after a ministry-wide restructuring in 1996 and its functions were assumed by the Natural Resource Management Division.
