Revised Motion – Enhancing Tornado Protection In Barrie and Ontario

This motion MAY be revised. But for those asking, this is where it is at so far. It will be presented to Barrie City Council on Aug 9th. #barrietornado #ontariobuildingcode

Request For Improvements To Building Codes

On August 9th, 2021, I will be bringing a motion forward at Barrie City Council to request that the Ontario Building Code and The City of Barrie, mandate the inclusion of hurricane straps in all new builds. This includes residential, commercial and industrial builds.

I am currently working with field experts to ensure the proper measures are requested.
