      History

      The Municipal Planning Policy Branch was established in 1989, from the former Local Government Organization Branch and the Office of Local Planning Policy, both within the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.

      In 1995 the Branch was transferred to the newly reconstituted Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

      The Branch was reorganized in 1998 with the transfer of most planning responsibilities to the local level as the Provincial Planning Policy Section of the Provincial Planning and Environmental Services Branch of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
