Hi Steve, You wrote that one of the hardest parts was to figure out what set to download from Canvec ftp site...
There was a link in the Canvec Wiki page to find out what file to download (using the NTS map number like 021E05) but it is broken now. I found another way to find it out. Go to... http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/toporama/index.html# Use the Toggle NTS Grid (grey icon next to the map scale) to make the NTS grid visible Zoom-in on your area of interest, the NTS map number displayed fits the file available from the Canvec ftp site (NTS 21e5 is file 021E05.zip).

However in BC there are large areas where there is nothing on the map - so after finding this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canvec#Canvec_Product_-_Datasets I managed to d/l some tile sets from CanVec, added some roads, lakes, streams etc using Potlatch 2. I kept notes on what tiles from each set I had imported and make the edits as time allowed. It's probably slower than using JOSM, but I found it easier to use. One of the hardest parts (for me) is to figure out what set to d/l from http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/OSM/pub/ So my question is: Using Potlatch 2, what is the best/easiest way to figure out what set to d/l? Using the original question of the Larder Lake area in Ontario how would I get this info? Or if someone was to give me a GPS coordinate how could i find the tile set for that area?
