On March 10, the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs fully implemented the 2024 BC Building Code (BCBC) seismic standards, which will have significant implications for Victoria, as well as areas of the Lower Mainland. The Ministry also announced that the previously proposed adaptable housing requirements would not be fully implemented, and instead will be phased-in, starting at 20% of units in residential apartment buildings on March 10, 2025.

During the session, the featured panelists will also discuss key findings and recommendations for implementation from the Report and Guide, as well as ongoing engagement planned with the development industry on the seismic and adaptability standards.
