History
The Provincial Municicipal Affairs Secretariat was established in 1972 following The Provincial Municipal Conference called by Premier John Robarts in 1970 and the formation of the Provincial Municipal Liaison Committee in 1971 which were ad hoc attempts to develop means of coordinating the activities of the two levels of government.
Originally, the Secretariat formed a part of the Intergovernmental Affairs Division of the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Relations until 1976 when it became part of the Local Government Division of the same Ministry. It remained a part of that Division when it moved to the new Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs in 1978. In 1981 the Division and Secretariat moved to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The Secretariat was disbanded shortly after it moved to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs in 1986.
