    Historique

    The Parks and Recreational Areas Branch was established within the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in 1979. It assumed the responsibilities of the former Provincial Parks Branch and had the added responsibility of developing recreation policy for Ontario's Crown lands.

    The Parks and Recreational Areas Branch formed part of the following divisions over the course of its existence: the Outdoor Recreation Group (1979-1990), the Administration Division (1990-1991) and the Policy Division (1991-1994). The Branch was composed of a Planning Section, a Development Section, an Operations Section and a Marketing and Communications Section. In addition, the Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) Program was administered by the branch after 1983. The branch also shared administration of the Conservation Land Tax Program (1988-) with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.

    The Parks and Recreational Areas Branch was renamed the Provincial Parks and Natural Heritage Policy Branch in February 1991. The Planning and Development section was subsequently renamed the Resource Policy and Program Development Section, and the Operations Section became the Park Management Section (later the Visitor Policy and Program Development Section). The branch also contained the Provincial Parks Council and the Office of Recreational Boating (1992-)

    The Parks and Recreational Areas Branch ceased to exist in 1994. Its functions were assumed by the Parks and Natural Heritage Section of the Terrestrial Ecosystems Branch and the Provincial Parks Operations Section of the Provincial Operations Branch.
