History
The office of the Ontario Youth Commissioner was established in early 1984. The Commissioner reported to the Chairman of the Board of Industrial Leadership and Development (BILD), a Committee of Cabinet chaired by the Treasurer (Ministry of Treasury and Economics), until 1985 when the Office of the Commissioner was transferred to the Ministry of Skills Development and became responsible for advising the ministry on youth employment strategy. In 1986, the Office of the Ontario Youth Commissioner was disbanded and its responsibilities were transferred to the Youth Employment Services Branch.
