      History

      The Women Crown Employees Office was established in April 1974 to implement the affirmative action program within the Ontario Civil Service. It fell under the jurisdiction of the Women's Programs Division of the Department of Labour from 1974 until 1978, when that division was disbanded. Following 1978, the office reported directly to the Deputy Minister of Labour.

      In May 1983, a Minister Responsible for Women's Issues was appointed and the Ontario Women's Directorate was established. Shortly thereafter, the Women Crown Employees Office was transferred to the Ontario Women's Directorate, under the jurisdiction of that minister. In 1984, however, the staff and functions of the Women Crown Employees Office were fully absorbed by the Directorate and the Office ceased to exist.
