Custodial History

The Walkerton Inquiry's website was administered by a private service provider up until the conclusion of the Inquiry. Thereafter, the Ministry of the Attorney General maintained the site as part of their Ministry internet site until 2003. The website was removed from their site in 2003.

Availability of Other Formats

The Inquiry's two reports are available in hard copy from the Archives Library. Please see sub-series descriptions for information about paper versions of the hearing transcripts, submissions and research papers.
