  Executive Board Member

  Established by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC) develops and maintains Canada's National Model Construction Codes. Members are selected from across Canada for their individual interests and expertise, rather than as delegates of any association or group, and with a view to providing broad technical and geographical representation.The Commission receives policy advice from the Provincial/Territorial Policy Advisory Committee on Codes, which is made up of representatives from the provincial and territorial ministries responsible for building, plumbing and fire safety regulation. It oversees the work of several committees and task groups and formally approves all model code documents and technical revisions prior to publication by the NRC. Show less
