The OBOA is pleased to be represented on the newly created Building Advisory Council (BAC). The BAC was established by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to provide strategic advice to the Minister on policy, technical and administrative issues related to the Building Code Act, 1992 and the Building Code. Specifically, the mandate is to provide strategic advice on the implementation of the recent building regulatory changes resulting from the Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act, 2002 (formerly known as Bill 124), and ongoing technical and policy issues related to the Building Code.
