History
The Motion Picture Censorship and Theatre Inspection Branch was created in 1938. It resulted from a merger of the functions of the former Theatre Inspection Branch with the Ontario Board of Censors. The Board of Censors, although forming part of the new branch, continued to exist as a separate entity.
The new branch formed part of the Ontario Treasury Department.
The branch ceased to exist in 1954 when it became known simply as the Theatres Branch.
