Metric Standards for Provincial Buildings
Public Works Minister Russell Doern announced all Manitoba provincial departments and agencies must use metric measurements for contract documents on building projects tendered after January 1, 1978. The shift aligns with a 1976 federal provincial framework and will be reflected in the Manitoba Building Code. Vehicle manufacturers and construction firms will adapt as metric materials enter the market, with no extra provincial cost expected. The change will include Manitoba Hydro, the Manitoba Telephone System, and the Manitoba Housing and Renewal Corporation, with the provincial judges' courts building in downtown Winnipeg expected as the first major project in metric units.
