The Standard Council of Canada’s (SCC) Standards to Support Resilience in Infrastructure Program (SSRIP) works with Canada’s national standardization network to develop and implement standardization solutions that boost infrastructure resilience and create stronger communities for Canadians. The overall objective of the SSRIP is to advance standardization strategies that help Canadian households, businesses, and communities adapt to the impacts of climate change. This supports a vision for a climate-resilient, sustainable built environment in Canada. The program is in its second phase (2021-2026) and has led more than 41 standardization initiatives since it began.
