From Ontario Building Code 4.1.3.2

1.25D + 1.5L
if D resists overturning, uplift or reversal load effect,
0.85D + 1.5L
Seismic:
1.0D+gamma1.0E
plus
1.0D + gamma(1.0L+1.0E) storage and assembly occupancies
or
1.0D + gamma(0.5L + 1.0E) for all other occupancies

gamma = importance factor, = 1.0 "for all buildings, except for those where it can be shown that collapse is not likely to cause injury or other serious consequences, it shall be not less than 0.8"

Hope it's not too late for you to get your work done.
