The Fire Code Regulation adopts:

  • National Fire Code – 2019 Alberta Edition While the new codes came into force on April 1, 2019 there is a 6 month transition period, ending on September 30, 2019, to facilitate transition to the new codes from the previous codes. The transition period will apply to the Building Code and the Energy Code for Buildings so that existing construction and plans are not unreasonably disrupted.
