History
The Pollution Control Board of Ontario was established in July 1952 by Cabinet as an interdepartmental committee. It was composed of representatives from government departments concerned with the pollution of water resources. The board was chaired by A.F. Berry, Director of the Sanitary Engineering Branch of the Department of Health.
Beginning in 1954, it sponsored annual Industrial Waste Conferences to which representatives from industry, government, and the public were invited.
The Board ceased to exist in 1956 when the Ontario Water Resources Commission assumed responsibility for the water supply and pollution control in the province and the board was replaced with the Water and Pollution Advisory Committee.
