Building Sub-Council
Humans live in an environment of their own making. The buildings that shape our lives are all around us: houses, apartments, office buildings, restaurants, churches and sports stadiums. The building codes ensure that a building stays strong and can stand up to the weather, the number of people inside, or even its own weight.
The Building Sub-Council members meet on a regular basis to discuss issues in the building industry and to make sure that our built environment is safe to inhabit. Our Building Sub-Council members are generous volunteers who make the province a safer place.
