BUILDING CODE: What’s New in the 2025 Building Code

Get a first look at the major changes coming in the 2025 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC)—and what they’ll mean when Manitoba adopts the updated code. This session focuses on key updates to Part 3: Fire Protection, Occupancy, and Accessibility, including new requirements, revised standards, and shifts in design and construction practices. You’ll also explore significant Manitoba-specific amendments and how they’ll impact your work moving forward.

This course is ideal for anyone involved in ICI construction projects where Part 3 of the NBCC applies, including:  

• Contractors responsible for code compliance, permitting and coordination during construction
• Architects and Engineers involved in building design and code analysis
• Interior Designers and Technologists working on layouts, finishes and occupancy considerations
• Project Managers and Site Supervisors who need to understand code impacts during construction and inspection
• Building Officials or Facility Owners looking to better understand design requirements and limitations

• Dr. John Frye
• Geoff Mikolayenko, Administrator of Commercial Inspections, City of Winnipeg
• Shawn Krenz, Senior Building Plan Examiner, City of Winnipeg
