Hi,
You might want to ask the talk-ca list... instead of tagging list :)
It's the default value for CanVec when the data is not available.
Every 6 months, the source data (as Natural Resources Canada made .osm
files) gets updated.
So more provinces will have housenumbers, in time :)
... the 1st
... and the reason for having a '0' was to show where (geometrically)
it will be.
So if people do know what the housenumber range actually is (or want
to extrapolate it from statsCan) they are welcome to.
cheers,
Sam
