Bonjour Adam,

This time I'm not behind this range-cemetery conversion !-)

The source dataset I used to create the Canvec.osm product (Canvec.gml) also 
describes the area as a cemetery. 

I'll forward your finding to the appropriate people. 
Thank you 

Daniel

Subject: Firing Range Mistagged as Cemetery?

A couple years ago, before the CFB closed down, there was a firing range for 
the military. A high school has since been built there, but you can see [1] for 
the approximate position (the range still appears in Yahoo and Bing). I was 
doing some Canvec 7 import for my area, and noticed that this area was marked 
as a cemetery. I think that Canvec 7 might have an issue with mistagging 
military=range or sport=shooting as landuse=cemetery (in a similar way to the 
already identified comical school->prison mistag). Unfortunately I don't know 
of any other ranges where I can test this theory. Might be something to look 
into. Or maybe it really was a cemetery before the military took over?

Adam
