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 dealing with the research, cure, and prevention of women’s diseases and conditions, including issues related to reproductive health. The records were created and received by the Women’s, Seniors’ and Community Services division of the Ministry of Community Service between 2001 and 2003. It is unclear whether all the records were created by the Women’s and Seniors’ Policy branch of the division, or whether they were created by other offices within the division. The series includes a draft framework for action regarding fetal alcohol spectrum disorder as well as records relating to a variety of reproduction issues.

The series is arranged numerically by file code and then alphabetically by file title.
The records are covered by ORCS 23120-20 and 23140-20 of schedule 117476 (Women’s Equality).
