The City of Yorkton is changing its Building Bylaw to enhance home safety. “An amendment to the City of Yorkton Building Bylaw is being proposed in this report pertaining to the enhancement of current National Building Code requirement,” explained Jeff Fawcett, Building Official, with the City at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday. Fawcett said the changes are related to residential occupancies with attached garages. “The National Building Code currently requires that only a poly gas barrier be provided between an attached garage and the living space of a single family dwelling. There have been examples in Yorkton of fires starting in a garage that quickly spread to the rest of the home. The unimpeded spread of fire in homes puts at risk the lives of the home’s occupants and those of neighbouring properties,” he told Council.
