History
The Human Resources Branch was established in 1964 as the Personnel Branch. The name was changed to the Human Resources Branch in 1981. Between 1964 and 1997, the branch formed a part of the Corporate Services Division of the Ontario Department of the Attorney General (from 1964-1969), the Ontario Department of Justice (from 1969-1972) and the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General (since 1972). In 1997, however, the branch was transferred to the newly created Business Improvement Division, which is responsible for coordinating the various corporate and business planning activities of the Ministry.
