Facility Inspections
Inspections To license a new alternative family care home or daycare, you must complete a fire
inspection. Alternative Family Care Home If you are opening a new
alternative family care home that requires a fire inspection for licensing, you must first obtain a
building permit from the City of Regina Building Department. Once the Building Department has
granted occupancy, schedule a fire inspection by calling 306-777-7830. If you require an inspection
for licensing purposes, you can request an inspection by sending an email to FAST@regina.ca with
your name, contact information and address of location to be inspected. This request will be
forwarded to the district Fire Inspector and they will contact you to schedule a time. An existing
alternative family care home (excluding daycares) may require a sprinkler system due to the recent
code changes. This depends on the number of occupants and whether they are capable of
self-preservation. Consult a design professional (Architect, Engineer, Class 3 Building Official).
All residential licensed facilities that do not have a sprinkler system must meet the following
minimum standards for sleeping room windows. These standards are minimum standards, prescribed by
the National Building Code. Each building owner and licensed facility operator should conduct their
own assessment, consulting a design professional if appropriate, to determine whether windows that
exceed the minimum standards should be installed to ensure occupants can safely exit the facility
in case of emergency Sleeping room windows must meet .35m2 (3.7 ft2) in area with no dimension less
than 380 mm (15”). The following are examples of acceptable sleeping room window unobstructed openings. This minimum opening is to be
measured when the window is fully opened. There can be no
obstructions in this opening. As a result, if the window has a “
scissor” style opening mechanism or other hinge system that
obstructs the opening does not meet the minimum standard. New window
wells are required to have a minimum clearance of 760 mm (30”) from window to edge of window well.
Below grade windows installed in sleeping rooms should be designed to swing into the room. If they
swing into the window well, the 760 mm (30”) clearance required is from the edge of the opened window. If your window was installed prior to 2013 and your window
well has clearance of 610 mm (24”) from window to edge of window well, you are not required by the
NBC to meet the 760 mm (30”) requirement. If your existing window well was installed prior to 2013
and does it does not meet 610 mm (24”) minimum clearance requirement, it will need to be brought up
to the current code minimum standard of 760 mm (30”) requirement from window to edge of window
well. These standards are minimum standards. It is up to each owner to determine whether larger
window wells are required to ensure occupants can safely exit through the window in the event of an
emergency. Smoke alarms, emergency lighting, portable fire extinguishers and fire drills should be
tested and/or practiced monthly and recorded on a log for review at your next fire inspection.
Failure to conduct these tests and keep proper records could result in prosecution and possible
fine. Daycares If you are opening a daycare that will be licensed
for more than 12, you must first obtain a building permit from the City of Regina Building
Department. Once the Building Department has granted occupancy, schedule a fire inspection by
calling 306-777-7830. Smoke alarms, emergency lighting, portable fire extinguishers and fire drills
should be tested and/or practiced monthly and recorded on a log for review at your next fire
inspection. Failure to conduct these tests and keep proper records could result in prosecution and
possible fines. Occupant Load Assembly occupancies designed for use by more than 60 persons require
an occupant load calculation and card. Assembly occupancies that serve alcohol require an occupant
load calculation and card regardless of the amount of people that may enter their establishment.
You can submit for an occupant load by emailing the following to FAST@regina.ca: Dimensioned
diagram of all useable areas in metres (any service areas can be excluded ie: kitchens, mechanical
rooms). The dimensions need to be laid out in a way that area can be achieved in meters squared.
The diagram must show dimensions of all exits and access to exits in mm. Details on how this space
is to be used. RFPS issues four different numbers, depending on which ones apply to your
circumstance (ie. standing, non-fixed seating, tables and chairs, licensed). Here are three
examples of a dimensioned diagrams that would be acceptable: CAD Diagram – this would be provided
by a design professional and is required for larger more complex occupant loads. e. large areas,
multiple rooms, mezzanines etc. Microsoft Visio – this would be acceptable in most circumstances.
Microsoft word – this is acceptable for very straightforward diagrams. All diagrams must be saved
in PDF format and sent via email to FAST@regina.ca. If you have PDF versions of original building
plans that show all of the details required above, this would be acceptable. Hand drawn diagrams
will not be accepted. Further to this, existing properties that are in operation and just applying
for an occupant load must undergo a current fire inspection. New buildings who have just gone
through the City of Regina Building Permit application may not require a current fire inspection to
apply for an occupant load. Fire Safety Planning Guide Occupant Load Dimensioned Diagram Examples

OCP Growth Plan Review
pdated the 2013 forecasts that informed the Design Regina: The Official Community Plan. It serves
as a key input to the Growth Plan Review, providing data, trends and
insights that will help shape the City’s long-term vision for growth, development phasing and
infrastructure planning. The City recently completed a Water & Wastewater Serviceability Study.
The study provides recommendations and guidance to support long-term growth planning. The study
focused on citywide infrastructure system solutions that will facilitate future growth in new
neighbourhoods and create opportunities for development in established neighbourhoods. The study
findings are a critical input to the Growth Plan Review, helping identify areas of the city with
sufficient water and wastewater capacity to support growth. It also highlights areas where
additional investment is required before development can proceed. Learn more by viewing the
