Fenestration Canada holds
annual meeting in Winnipeg
Canadian Design and Construction
Report staff writer
Fenestration Canada held its annual
general meeting June 12 to 14 in Win-
nipeg. Described as a ‘crossroads of cul-
ture, commerce and tourism,' in part
because the city has one of the largest
French-speaking communities outside
Quebec, Winnipeg is also home to a
large number of window and door
manufacturers. The event program included busi-
ness sessions and technical updates.
The President’s Reception and Sup-
plier’s Showcase provided registrants
the opportunity to display their prod-
ucts before the dinner.
A presentation on NAFS-08 re-
viewed code related case studies for
interpretation, education and clarifica-
tion. It also demonstrated how mem-
bers can work with Fenestration
Canada to resolve issues.
“The National Energy Code for
Buildings was published in 2011;
British Columbia will be the first
province to implement this code,” a
Fenestration Canada news release re-
ports. “Ontario has had its own energy
code, SB10, for building in place for
several years now. While these codes
apply to commercial fenestration
products they will also apply to resi-
dential products being used in part
five buildings where these codes
apply. This presentation will review the
National and Ontario codes and look
at how they impact all fenestration
manufacturers.” There were opportunities to net-
work and socialize. From an opening
evening at Fort Gibraltar to a compan-
ion program featuring a World War II
Spy and Hermetic Code Tour as well
as the opportunity to participate in the
Fenestration Manitoba Golf Tourna-
ment, guests had the chance to meet
with old and new friends.
