http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NRCan_Protected_Areas#Data It's a 7 file set covering all of Canada http://www.mediafire.com/file/mjgdmejnz2z/nrcan_protected_areas7files.zip They need to be all opened up & just zoom into an area in Manitoba of the polygon & download the local OSM area to see what exists, and if its not already in the map, copy/paste it in. :) For some of them they are big.. so it does take time. Over on the #osm-ca IRC user Wbski has finished up the BC areas, so thats 1 province. Im just working as i go along (virtually across Canada) and filling in what i can. For the aboriginal lands, it's a bit harder as the names are all in CAPS and need to be fixed :) Slowely but surley it gets done, that's why we croud source :) Cheers, Sam > > Tyler > _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
