History
The Branch was formed in 2007 when the program areas of the Heritage and Libraries Branch were combined with the program elements of the Cultural Agencies Unit and the Arts and Cultural Industries Unit of the Culture Division.
Initially comprised of the Cultural Program Unit, the Culture Services Unit, and the Cultural Liaison Unit, the Branch was reorganized in 2001 and 2014. In 2017, it was restructured into four units: the Archaeology Program Unit, the Heritage Program Unit, the Program Planning and Delivery Unit, and the Program Evaluation and Transfer Payment Unit.
