Meet Kelsey Longmoore!
She is the founder and dreamer behind Kilo Lima Code, an online Canadian building code resource library and community.
Kelsey is a multi-passionate human figuring out life and what feeds her soul.
Her niche in our industry is one many of us don't spend much time thinking about as a career path.

Let's get behind the scenes of the Canadian building code community and learn:

• How Kelsey became a building code engineer and later transitioned into a design consultant role.
• The value of experiencing aspects of our industry from the opposite side.
• And how Kilo Lima will change the way Canada will understand the national building code.
