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.

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 Serviceability Study video.
