The Government of Manitoba will update its provincial building code with the revised national model in 2027.

Specific exemptions for emergency lighting, foamed plastics, and perimeter exiting have been carried over for farm buildings. But we still recommended that government exempt farm building construction from the Manitoba Building Code to align with Saskatchewan and Alberta.
