    History

    The Municipal Management Policy Branch was created in 1982 within the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. It absorbed many of the functions of the former Municipal Administration Branch. It formed part of the Municipal Operations Division.

    In 1985, the branch moved to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, where it continued to form part of the Municipal Operations Division. It became known briefly as the Municipal Management Practices Branch.

    The branch ceased to exist in 1988 during a restructuring of the Municipal Operations Division. It had no immediate successor; it's functions appear to have been assumed by the field offices of the division.
