History

The Ministry of Energy and Mines was first established in 1899 under its first name, the Dept. of Mines, by the Department of Mines Act (SBC 1899, c. 48). The department had responsibility for all matters affecting mining, including the collection, publication and circulation of information relating to mining, administration of all mining laws, and the operation and maintenance of the Provincial Assay Office, laboratories, sampling plants, and the maintenance of the Museum of Minerals. The name of the ministry changed several times as a result of the addition of mandates related to petroleum and energy. The ministry was disestablished in 1996 as part of a government-wide reorganization (OIC 197/96). Its duties, powers and functions, other than those related to the Utilities Commission, were transferred to the newly established Ministry of Employment and Investment.

In 1998, mining and energy functions were removed from the Ministry of Employment and Investment and transferred to the newly established Ministry of Energy and Mines. In 2005, this ministry was renamed the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (OIC 450/2005).
