THE ISSUE OF USING UNSTAMPED LUMBER HAS BEEN RESOLVED-> below is the press release regarding the reversal of an earlier decision by cabinet surrounding the us...e of unstamped or ungraded lumber. Myself and several of my colleagues asked Cabinet to have another look at this and reinstate the previous exemptions allowing unstamped lumber for camps, sheds and any other accessory buildings. I’m happy to say that they did reverse this decision, I truly believe that it was just an oversight. Thank you to everyone that reached out to my office with your concerns with this. Justice and Public Safety Building permits under 2010 National Building Code accepted until Dec. 31 NB 6 May 2021 FREDERICTON (GNB) -- A grace period has been established to allow the construction industry time to transition from the 2010 National Building Code to the 2015 version, as part of changes to a regulation under the Building Code Administration Act effective immediately. Since adopting the 2015 National Building Code earlier this year, concerns were raised by some developers who had performed significant work in planning construction based on the 2010 code, said Justice and Public Safety Minister Hugh J. Flemming. We listened and are extending the grace period to provide industry with more time to adjust to the new building code. The amended regulation will allow building permits under both the 2010 and 2015 National Building Codes to be accepted until Dec. 31, 2021. Effective Jan. 1, 2022 only permits based on the 2015 National Building Code will be accepted. In addition to the establishment of the grace period, the regulation was also amended to ensure that buildings designed for overnight accommodation with a total floor area of less than 56.08 square metres (625 square feet) are exempt from the code, such as small camps and lodges or sheds. We have seen in the last year the renewed interest in exploring our beautiful province through recreational activities, said Flemming. This exemption will remove a barrier for those seeking to build a simple fishing or hunting camp, and for entrepreneurial New Brunswickers who are developing overnight accommodations to meet the demand for ‘glamping sites’ and other small structures designed for camping. The regulation was also amended to exempt buildings which fall under the definition of accessory buildings. This allows the use of ungraded lumber lumber that is not stamped for these buildings. The Building Code Administration Act was introduced and passed in March 2020 to allow the government to adopt the latest version of the National Building Code and the National Energy Code for Buildings. The day-to-day operations of administering building permits and performing inspections are the responsibility of local governments and regional service commissions. Information on the National Building Code of Canada is available on the National Research Council website.

Public Health confirmed today that an individual 80-89 in Zone 4 (Edmundston region) has died as a result of COVID-19. This brings the total number of deaths in... the province to 40. The person was a resident of Pavillon Beau-Lieu, a special care home in Grand Falls. I am saddened to learn we have lost another person to this virus, said Health Minister Dorothy Shephard. I join all New Brunswickers in extending heartfelt condolences to those who are mourning the loss of their loved one. I encourage all New Brunswickers to keep this person’s grieving family and friends in their thoughts and prayers, said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health. I share my sincere sympathies with everyone who has been affected by this loss. 11 new cases Public Health reported 11 new cases of COVID-19 today. This includes 10 travel-related cases of New Brunswick workers who are isolating outside the province. Their cases are included in the totals of the health zones of their home communities. The two cases in Zone 2 (Saint John region) are as follows: an individual 20-29; and an individual 40-49. One case is under investigation and the other is travel related. The one case in Zone 3 (Fredericton region) is an individual 50-59. This case is travel related. The one case in Zone 5 (Campbellton region) is an individual 50-59. This case is travel related.
