OFA provides comments to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing regarding proposed changes for the next edition of Ontario’s Building Code (OBC) – winter consultation. Farm buildings can have their distinctive structural requirements. It is understood that these proposed changes to the Ontario Building Code (OBC) are meant to reflect changes to modern farming operations and the diversity among farm buildings and operations, accounting for their unique hazards, differences, and structural changes or fire safety considerations. OFA appreciates the Ministry’s willingness to further explain these proposed OBC changes and respond to our technical questions.
