21-58063 - MEDIA RELATIONS, SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT AND WEB CONTENT FOR THE CANADIAN COMMISION ON BUILDING AND FIRE CODES (21-58063)

The Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC) is an independent committee established by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) to develop the content of the National Model Building Codes. The CCBFC and its standing committees develop the codes through an independent, evidence-based process. The NRC’s Construction Research Centre provides administrative and technical support to the CCBFC through its Codes Canada team, and coordinates the provision of evidence-based research to help inform technical standing committees. The NRC is responsible for the publication of the National Model Codes documents.　

The CCBFC will require external support to implement independently-led communications activities, including stakeholder engagement, media relations, social media management, website content, strategic communications planning, branding and promotional materials as needed.　

The National Model Codes are published every five years, with the next editions anticipated to be launched in December 2021. The Codes launch will be a significant part of the upcoming work (including implementation of a communications plan for the launch) and will be additional to the ongoing communications activities of the CCBFC.
