Dan Knutson is the new President of the Saskatchewan Building Officials Association.

Knutson, who is the Engineering Assistance for Swift Current, has sat on the executive of the Saskatchewan Building Officials Association for about five years.

He says the SBOA wants to make sure old buildings are safe and new buildings are built properly.

Knutson says SBOA members are currently learning about the 2005 Building Code, the new provincial code that has yet to be developed.

As President, Knutson will meet with his provincial counterparts at a national convention of building code enforcers next April in Lloydminister.
