The First Nations National Building Officers Association (FNNBOA) and the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) established a partnership where the expertise from both organizations can work together to improve the levels of health and safety of people living in Indigenous Communities.
CCMC provides an evaluation service focussed on innovative and non-standardized construction products, materials, systems and series. These services provided by CCMC are useful for Indigenous Communities to determine the acceptability of products within the context of their respective regional building, fire, and plumbing, energy code provisions.
The FNNBOA and CCMC/NRC are working together to address other issues such as capacity development, training, and the impact of climate change on the building of residential homes in Indigenous Communities.
