History
The Outdoor Recreation Group was created in February 1978 within the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources from a merger of the Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Division of Parks.
The group oversaw the activities of the Fisheries Branch, the Parks and Recreational Areas Branch (known as the Provincial Parks Branch, 1978-1979), and the Wildlife Branch. It became responsible for the Office of Recreational Boating in 1985.
The Outdoor Recreation Group continued to exist until July 1990, when a ministry-wide restructuring dissolved all existing groups within the ministry, and replaced them with an Operations Division, a Policy Division, and and Information Resources Division. At the same time, the branches within the ministry were considerably rearranged. The Outdoor Recreation Group had no immediate successor within the new structure.
