You shouldn't be ashamed. The guys who do this for a living do know something (and have really nice Trimble differential gps units). Besides, you are in Alberta, and the Alberta government (and the municipal governments in Alberta) has/have been one of the most cooperative with the Geobase effort up to this point. Locally, you want to be on the lookout for new roads that go in, which the governmental bodies may not get to immediately, and then there is organizing everyone you know to go on a mapping party in Quebec (if the locals question you, just argue you can't get enough poutine and Molson Export in Alberta to your liking, and you carry the gps unit around because you have this real need to know exactly where you are at any given moment ;-)).
