Codes Canada are developed by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC). In Canada, provincial and territorial governments have the authority to enact legislation that regulates the following activities within their jurisdictions: activities related to the construction, use or demolition of buildings and facilities; the condition of specific elements of buildings and facilities; the design or construction of specific elements of facilities related to certain hazards; and protection measures for the current or intended use of buildings This legislation may include the adoption of the National Fire Code (NFC) without change or with modifications to suit local needs, and the enactment of other laws and regulations related to these activities, including the requirements for professional involvement. The NFC is a model code in the sense that it helps promote consistency among provincial and territorial fire codes. Persons involved in the operation of buildings or facilities should consult the provincial or territorial government concerned to find out which fire code is applicable"--Preface, page v (first section).
