Department to Hold Public Sessions on New Electrical
Code
The Department of Government Services will hold public
sessions throughout the province throughout May and June to provide
information on the new 2009 Canadian Electrical Code. The new code will
be enforced in the province as of June 29, 2009.
"The Canadian Standards Association updates the
electrical code on a three-year cycle and it is then adopted by
provincial legislation, that is, the Electrical Regulations under the
Public Safety Act," said the Honourable Kevin O�Brien, Minister of
Government Services. "These updated requirements will apply to all
electrical work for permits issued on or after June 29. I would
recommend that all electrical contractors attend one of the public
sessions to ensure that they understand the new requirements."
The public sessions will be held from 7:00 p.m. to
9:00 p.m. for each of the following dates and locations:
May 19 - Grand Falls-Windsor, Mount Peyton Hotel
May 20 � Gander, Albatross Hotel
May 21 � Clarenville, Clarenville Inn
