History
The Office of the Coordinator on Bilingualism was established in the Ontario Department of the Provincial Secretary and Citizenship in 1970. The first Coordinator of Bilingualism was W.A.B. Anderson, Co-President of the Ontario-Quebec Permanent Commission.
When the Department of the Provincial Secretary and Citizenship was dissolved in 1972, Anderson became Chairman of the Civil Service Commission and the Office of the Coordinator on Bilingualism was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Commission. At that time, A.J. Charlebois was appointed Executive Secretary to the Coordinator.
By August of 1975 the Office of the Coordinator on Bilingualism had been transferred to the Management Board of Cabinet. In 1977, the position was transferred again to the Ontario Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs. D.W. Stevenson, an Assistant Deputy Minister in that Ministry, was appointed to the position of Coordinator.
In October of 1978 the Office of the Coordinator on Bilingualism was replaced with the Office of the Government Coordinator of French Language Services within the newly created Ontario Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs.
