History
Veterinary Laboratory Services was established in 1982 within the Advisory and Technical Services Division of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, replacing the Veterinary Services Branch. It remained there until 1991 when it was moved to the Quality and Standards Division.
Following a brief period between 1992 and 1993 within the Laboratory and Inspection Services Division, it eventually fell under the umbrella of the Education, Research and Laboratories Division, where it remained until March 1997, when the major responsibilities of that Division, including laboratories, were transferred to the University of Guelph as part of an Enhanced Partnership Agreement.
