History
This centre was created in December 1978 to enhance and support the quality of working life in the province. It was headed by a steering body known originally as the Quality of Working Life Advisory Committee, reporting to the Deputy Minister of Labour. In 1983-84, this committee was expanded and became known as the Ontario Labour Management Study Group.
The Quality of Working Life Centre was discontinued sometime around 1988, when presumably its functions were absorbed into other parts of the ministry.
