Show detail Hide detail

Series consists of records created by the National Council of Welfare (NCW) while it reported to the Minister of Human Resources and Development (HRDC). NCW was an advisory body for matters relating to social development. The council advised the Minister on matters concerning poverty, low income Canadians, and related programs and policies. In addition, it published reports on a wide range of issues, which included income security programs, child benefits, taxation, income adequacy, employment programs, the justice system, social services such as child care and child welfare, the cost of poverty, and specific populations such as children, lone-parent families and seniors.

Custodial history:

Show detail Hide detail

Records in this series were received by Library and Archives Canada (LAC) upon the closure of the National Council on Welfare (NCW) in 2012/2013. When the records were transferred, NCW was not covered by a Records Disposition Authority (RDA). Thus, documentation regarding the transfer of these records lists LAC as the transferring institution. Appraisal of these records (see RDA 2014/004) was undertaken after their transfer to LAC.

Throughout its lifespan, NCW shifted from advising the Minister of Health and Welfare (1962-1993) to the Minister of HRDC and the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) (1993-2012). In its advisory capacity, NCW operated independently of each department and published reports under its own authority.

Records in this series were created while the council reported to the Minister responsible for Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC). Thus, these records are located within the HRDC fonds. Records created while NCW reported to the Minister responsible for the Department of National Health and Welfare can be found within the NCW sous-fonds of the Department of Health fonds (see related materials note).
