History
Field Services Division was established in 1996 to oversee the functions previously administered by the Operations Division. It was renamed Regional Operations Division in 2010.
The Division has divided the province into administrative regions with local offices in order to facilitate the delivery of programs. The regions have undergone slight name and geographical border changes over time, but have generally consisted of the regions of Northwest, Northeast, and Southern Ontario. The Far North Branch was created in 2010 to lead the implementation of land use planning in the Far North in conjuction with First Nation communities.
The division underwent restructuring in 2010, and responsibilities for aviation, forest fires, and enforcement were moved to the newly created Provincial Services Division. Responsibilities for Indigenous affairs were transferred to the new Policy Division.
