BILD Alberta has been quite vocal throughout the Charter process about desired changes and potential consequences of the City Charters.
- Of central concern is the potential ability for the cities of Calgary and Edmonton to create separate building codes.
- Municipal Affairs studied this issue and is of the opinion that the requirement of a Bylaw will ensure that additional public consultation will be required, along with approval from City Council.
- Considering this, they do not believe this will result in separate building codes. BILD Alberta was invited to submit documentation and evidence in this regard.
