If you really need source data it will be available when the goverment makes up their mind where to host it. If you need it we have it in GeoJSON format here: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/addxy.com/ottawa-buildings.geojson Original file shouldn't matter anyways as it's full of errors to

Steve, the only replacement, is if ottawa's geometry is better. There are a lot of buildings in Ottawa that are CanVec 6.0 which is ancient! Not to mention pretty crumby/blocky. As for manually mapped buildings like stittsville(AJ Ashton's buildings) just re-align it as they offset to

Re: [Talk-ca] [Import] Ottawa Buildings & Addresses [Statistics Canada project]

Stewart, The process was a success for me, the only issue was the data was bad... I've been involved in importing some of the GNS data and it was a great set up Pierre and other OSM members set up. Bad data goes in, bad data comes out. Thankfully we have good data provided by the City of Ottawa

Re: [Talk-ca] [Import] Ottawa Buildings & Addresses [Statistics Canada project]

I like it overall. Nice to see more quality data being added, and I'm personally pretty pro-import generally. However, just from following this list, I was surprised that the import was suddenly being done. I recall seeing messages about the possibility of a project, and it sounded like it was
