History
The Ministry of Tourism and Recreation was formed in 1982 out of the merging of the Tourism Division of the Ministry of Industry and Tourism with the Community Programs, Sports and Recreation Division of the Ministry of Culture and Recreation.
The Minister of Tourism and Recreation was assisted by a Deputy Minister, and two Assistant Deputy Ministers - one in charge of the Tourism Division, and the other responsible for the Recreation Division. In addition, the Ministry also consisted of a Planning and Administration Division (1982-1987); a Corporate Management Services Division (1988-1993); and a Tourism and Recreation Operations Division (1984- 1993). In 1990, a third Assistant Deputy Minister was added to head the Expositions and Attractions Division.
Agencies which reported to the Ministry included the Niagara Parks Commission, the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, the Trillium Foundation, Ontario Place, the Ontario Lottery Corporation, and the Huronia Historical Advisory Council.
In 1993, the Ministry amalgamated with the Culture Division of the Ministry of Culture and Communications and was renamed the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation.
