History
The Ministry of Forests and Range was renamed from the Ministry of Forests in 2005 (OIC 450/2005). The ministry had the mandate to manage and conserve forest and range resources for short and long term benefits to protect and sustain forest productivity and to encourage competitive forest and range industries. The ministry was also responsible for managing housing through the Office of Housing and Construction Standards from 2005 to 2008 when this office was transferred to the Ministry of Housing and Social Development.
In 2010 a government reorganization resulted in several changes. Some functions from the Ministry of Forests and Range were transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture and the newly established Ministry of Natural Resource Operations. At the same time, several functions related to lands from the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, and several functions related to mines from the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources were transferred to the Ministry of Forests and Range. As a result of these changes, the Ministry of Forests and range was renamed the Ministry of Forests, Mines and Lands (OIC 652/2010).
