Biographical history

The Women’s, Seniors’ and Community Services department was within the Ministry of Community Services and was comprised of three policy and program areas. These areas included the Seniors’ and Women’s Partnerships and Information Branch, the Community Programs Branch, and the Community Partnerships Branch. The division helped the Ministry of Community Services contribute to community health and safety by providing leadership and resources for services for women who experienced abuse, as well as by providing expert advice and policy analysis. The department also provided policy analysis and expert advice for a number of Ministry initiatives.

In the 2007-2008 fiscal year, the Women’s, Seniors’ and Community Services had a budget of $55.8 million and a staff of 37 full-time equivalents.

Custodial history

Scope and content

The series consists of reports, correspondence, and memoranda relating to training programs and the education of women and girls in British Columbia. The series consists of records relating to women’s participation in non-traditional trades, as well as gender-inclusive recruitment and training programs designed to overcome the traditional pattern of gender segregation in the workplace. The records were created and used by the Women’s, Seniors’ and Community Services division of the Ministry of Community Services between 2001 and 2003. It is unclear whether the records were created by a branch of the Division, such as the Women’s and Seniors’ Policy branch, or whether the records were created elsewhere within the division.

The series is arranged numerically by file code and then alphabetically by file title. The series is covered by ORCS 22000-20 and 22100-20 of schedule 117476 (Women’s Equality).
