History
The Recreation Policy Branch was created in 1990 within the Recreation Division of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. It resulted from a reorganization in which the Recreation Branch and Sports and Fitness Branch were dissolved and replaced with the Provincial Recreation Programs Branch and the Recreation Policy Branch.
The Recreation Policy Branch comprised three sections: the Strategic Policy Issues and Management Secretariat, the Planning and Analysis Section and the Research and Evaluation Section.
In 1992, the Recreation Policy Branch was renamed the Recreation Policy and Program Development Branch and became a component of Policy, Planning and Program Development Division. In February 1993, the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation was incorporated into the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation. At this time, the branch, once more called the Recreation Policy Branch, again became part of the newly reformed Recreation Division.
In 1995, the Recreation Division was moved to the new Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation and the Recreation Policy Branch was renamed the Sport and Recreation Policy and Planning Branch.
