Last week the International Code Council has issued guidance for building managers to safely re-occupy their buildings. The federal government also announced that they will set minimum standards for the carbon footprint of all concrete used in federal construction projects beginning in 2021. 

The news deadline each week will now be Friday at 5:00 pm. If you have a news item that is of interest to Canada’s construction, building and design community, feel free to submit to me directly.

Thanks for reading and have a safe week.

Best Regards,
