B4.3Advocate to the province to include FireSmart features, (e.g., including using fire-resistant construction materials, building design) in future BC Building Code updates

Kelowna relies on provincial regulators to make changes to the BC Building Code, as a provincial responsibility to ensure building safety. Consistent province-wide building code regulations will help support local adoption of climate resilient building design.

While the City has not formally advocated to the province to make changes to the BC Building Code, we are making changes to the Zoning Bylaw requiring FireSmart landscaping practices and fencing.
