Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Dept. of National Health and Welfare. Civil Defence Co-ordinator : By virtue of Order in Council (P.C. 29/4855, 23 October 1948) a Special Adviser to the Minister of National Defence was appointed to act as Civil Defence Co-ordinator to assist in the establishment of an effective overall Civil Defence programme. In addition to providing guidelines towards a uniform organization across the country, and preparing an overall national plan for survival, the Civil Defence Headquarters organization was responsible for the training of key personnel, developing a mutual sharing under the Financial Aid Programme, providing equipment to CD organizations, and compensation for injured workers. There was also established a fairly close liaison with other members of NATO.

In 1951, under Order in Council (P.C. 985, 23 February 1951) the "powers, duties and functions" relating to Civil Defence were transferred to the Minister of National Health and Welfare and remained under his control until a further reorganization took place under the authority of Order in Council (P.C. 1959-656, 20 May 1959) which assigned the "powers, duties and functions" of Civil Defence to the Department of Justice, National Defence and Health and Welfare respectively.
