New BCCDC fact sheet: Wildfire smoke and outdoor event planning
During wildfires, public health practitioners and emergency managers are faced with the daunting task of protecting the public from the threat of smoke- and fire-related illness.
In order to assist public health decision makers in BC, BCCDC struck an international working group to develop consensus guidelines for use during wildfire smoke events.
Final call to provide feedback on the National Model Building Code
Given the health risks posed by extreme heat, the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes (CBHCC) is exploring changes to the National Model Building Code to reduce the risk posed by indoor overheating. The proposed changes are open to public review.
The spring 2024 public review period will run from May 27th to July 29th, 2024. If you wish, you may visit the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes website to learn more about the National Model Codes, to examine the proposed changes to the National Building Code and to provide feedback on the proposed changes.
