History

The Game Commission was established in 1934 and constituted by legislative authority in the following year, replacing the Provincial Game Commissioner. It reported to the Legislative Assembly through the Dept. of the Attorney-General. On April 1, 1957 the Game Commission under the Dept. of the Attorney-General name was changed to the Fish and Game Branch of the Dept. of Recreation and Conservation. In 1966 the Fish and Game Branch changed its name to Fish and Wildlife Branch. The branch was transferred in December 1978 to Ministry of the Environment.

The name of the branch has since changed several times. In the 1980s the Branch was split into the Wildlife Branch and the Fisheries Branch. As of 2022, the two branches have been combined again, thus the Fish and Wildlife Branch continues to exist.
