2005 National Construction Codes:
Invitation to Participate in the Fall 2008 Public Review of Proposed Changes

 

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 at www.nationalcodes.ca.
