The Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes (CBHCC) seeks expressions of interest from individuals to serve as Chair for the inaugural version of the Advisory Council for Harmonized Construction Codes.

The Advisory Council’s mandate will be to provide advice to the CBHCC on key policy issues related to the National Model Codes and will begin meeting in Q1 of 2023.
