History
The Recreation Division was created in 1983 when the Community Programs, Sports and Recreation Division of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation was renamed.
At its creation, the division comprised the Recreation Branch, Sports and Fitness Branch, and Community Programs. In 1984, Community Programs was transferred to the Field Services Division. During 1990, the Sports and Fitness Branch and the Recreation Branch were dismantled when the Recreation Division was reorganized.
