Alberta Community Development

Last updated

The Ministry of Community Development, commonly called Alberta Community Development, was a ministry of the Government of Alberta from 1992 to 2019.

It was created in 1992 pursuant to the Public Service Administrative Transfers Act , Order in Council 750/1992. It was created in 1992 from the previous Department of Culture (1915-1992) and the Department of Tourism, Parks, and Recreation (1992). [1]

It operated under several names during that time: Alberta Community Development (1992-2006), Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture (2006-2008), [2] Alberta Culture and Community Spirit (2008 to 2011), Alberta Culture and Community Services (2011 to 2014), and Alberta Culture and Tourism (2014 to 2019).

At the time of it's establishment the ministry was assembled from the former tourism, parks, culture, and recreation functions of other ministries. In 2015, the parks functions were lost to Alberta Enviroment. In 2019 the ministry was dissolved: the tourism functions rejoined Alberta Economic Development where they had been in the 1990s, and the remaining culture and recreation functions were joined with the multiculturalism and status of women portfolios to create a new ministry, which subsequently had it's name shortened to Alberta Culture to 2022.
