The 2024 Ontario Building Code (OBC) replaces the 2012 Ontario Building Code (as amended). These changes aim to improve safety standards, energy efficiency, and accessibility in buildings. The new OBC moves closer to the National Building Code as Ontario continues to try to align its regulations with the National Building Code to enhance consistency across the country. 

North Perth, November 4, 2024 – The Council of the Municipality of North Perth demonstrated its commitment to tackling the growing mental health, addictions, and homelessness crisis by passing a motion at the regular council meeting on October 21, 2024. The motion aligns North Perth with the “Solve the Crisis” campaign, initiated by Ontario’s Big City Mayors (OBCM), emphasizing the urgent need for action from provincial and federal governments.

Mayor Todd Kasenberg spoke on the urgency of the situation: "Being a municipal elected official, I have a seat a bit closer to the ice surface than many on the significant issues facing not just our community, but all communities. While the Solve the Crisis initiative was launched and is being sustained by Ontario's Big City Mayors, the problems on which they are inviting action are our problems too. Housing affordability and homelessness are near the top of our list of issues. Our platform for those living with mental health compromises is in some ways less rich because we are a small community, with services either missing or located in the cities - meaning travel elsewhere.
