    Historique

    The Office of the Official Guardian was formally established within the Ontario Department of the Attorney General in 1881. In 1964, the various branches and offices of this Department were grouped into divisions and the Official Guardian's Branch was placed within the Administration of Justice Division. Although the Department of the Attorney General was renamed the Department of Justice in 1969, and then replaced with the Ministry of the Attorney General in 1972, the Official Guardian's Branch remained within the Administration of Justice Division of both of these agencies during these changes. In 1973, however, the Official Guardians Branch was transferred to the Crown Law Office where it remained until 1975; in that year it was moved to the Common Legal Services Division. In 1979, it was again transferred, this time to the Civil Law Division. The Official Guardian's Branch was renamed the Office of the Children's Lawyer in 1997 and moved to the Social Justice Services Division.
