OFIA asks for building code changes

The Ontario Forest Industries Association is calling on the government to change the provincial building code.


President Jamie Lim wants contractors to be able to use lumber in six storey buildings.

She says the amount of wood needed to build those structures could make a huge difference
to the lumber industry in northern Ontario. 

Lim says that's just one way the Province can help the region's forest industry.
