Actually, I just removed the sample area. that I made from the stats Can shp files. As the license that listed in the PDF is for 'personal use only', And the rest of that licence is not written in english eithor lol :). http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1002082
Instead, as the alternate, we CAN trace from the pdf maps (cantopo & canmatrix), to get these boundaries. Which might not be the most current, but IS the most current that is 'freely available'. So thats also good. Fortunately, for the Province of Ontario, there is this data available http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Land_Information_Ontario#Administrative Cheers, Sam On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 8:46 PM, Sam Vekemans <[email protected]> wrote: > My aim is to import more aboriginal lands before working on this > stuff, so its a little easier to see. > And we also need to be careful to not merge nodes with residential > area or anything else. > > On 6/23/10, Dan Putler <[email protected]> wrote: >> I've worked with these layers a fair amount.
