Ontario. Programs and Services Branch

• Programs and Services Branch

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.

The Programs and Services Branch is responsible for partnerships, programs and services related to the arts, cultural industries, archaeology, museums, heritage and public libraries in Ontario.

The branch is responsible for delivering licensing and regulatory programs for archaeology in Ontario and for providing advice on the protection and conservation of archaeological resources, advisory services related to cultural heritage, advisory and technical services to key partners and stakeholders in the arts, public library and heritage communities and leading and managing grants, capital funds and transfer payments.
