The Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC) is inviting all
Canadian residents to take part in a public review of proposed changes to the
model national construction codes. These codes, consisting of the National
Building, Fire and Plumbing Codes, are developed by the CCBFC in partnership
with the provinces, territories and the National Research Council Canada. As
model codes, they form the basis of many provincial and territorial regulations
on building, fire and plumbing.
The Fall 2008 Public Review is a national consultation that affords stakeholders
the opportunity to review and comment on proposed code changes that will lead to
the 2010 editions of the model National Building, Fire and Plumbing Codes.
Ontario stakeholders are encouraged to participate in this phase of the model
national code development process as the outcomes of the consultation will be a
consideration for any future proposed amendments to the 2007 Ontario Fire Code.
The consultation period begins September 29, 2008 and will run until November
28, 2008. For additional information, please visit the National Codes Web site
