Manitoba BUILDING CODE
The 'Building Code' in Canada is actually a series of interrelated documents, and is the minimum construction standard for health and life safety. The Code currently enforced in Manitoba is the NBC 2005 with the 2006 Manitoba Amendments. There is no unique "Manitoba Building Code" at this time - in 2006 the province adopted the 2005 NBC Code and that included a number of amendments for Manitoba. The adoption of the NBC and the Manitoba Amendments are contained in a The Buildings and Mobile Homes Act and Regulation which can be viewed Here:
