^i doubt that the building codes here are made with the snowfall we've had this last little bit in mind. at least not with it staying for any length of time like it has. we've had rather unseasonable weather.
that said, i don't disagree that they should be constructed with weight in mind. however, we're talking about a building built to older building codes anyways. the Extra Foods in question was built in the late 70's/early 80's (ar least is my guess judging by the looks of the place both inside and out).
i'm sure there's people here that remember the Save On Foods at Metrotown's roof collapsing in the late 80's. mind you that was because of the cars on the parking lot. building standards have improved since then because of that incident.
