Dear Sir/Madam

The Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC) would like to invite your organization and its members-as stakeholders in the development of the National Model Construction Codes-to take part in the fall 2011 public review of proposed changes to the 2010 National Model Construction Codes. The public review is one of the main steps in the process for developing national code documents, providing a nation-wide forum where anyone can review and comment on the changes proposed. The National Model Construction Codes, comprising the National Building, Fire and Plumbing Codes are model codes developed by the CCBFC that the provinces and territories can adopt as is, or with modifications, as part of their building, fire and plumbing regulations.

The public review will run from October 24, 2011 until December 16, 2011 on the National Codes Web site, www.nationalcodes.ca.

The CCBFC wishes to thank your organization and its membership for contributing to the development of Canada's National Model Construction Codes. We would appreciate you forwarding this invitation to your membership and stakeholders.

Regards,

Anne C. Gribbon

Secretary to the CCBFC
