Historique
The Northern Development Branch was established in 1912. The branch was attached to the Ontario Department of Lands, Forests and Mines until 1920, and to the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests from 1920 until 1926.
Presiding over the Branch was Mr. J.F. Whitson, who was given the title of Roads Commissioner. With the death of Mr. Whitson, in 1919, the office of the Roads Commissioner was abolished and the operations of the Branch were placed under the authority of Mr. C.H. Fullerton, Superintendent of the Colonization Roads Branch.
By 1926, the responsibilities of the Branch had increased from general road construction to include the building of bridges, culverts and drains, formerly the responsibility of the Department of Public Works. The Branch's activities were also expanding with respect to the agricultural development of the north and the provision of loans to settlers for seed and agricultural machinery. In addition, the Branch was given responsibility for providing fire relief to those who suffered damages from the Northern Ontario Fire of October 1922.
As a result of these expanding responsibilities, the Northern Development Act was passed in 1926, which brought together the Northern Development Branch and the Colonization Roads Branch, to form the Ontario Department of Northern Development.
