Re: [Talk-ca] Building Canada 2020 OSMGeoWeek Mapathons

James, Julia,         I am responsible for delivering the NB high resolution imagery to Esri Canada. The imagery only includes about 10% ‎of the province and it is mostly in the urban areas but it does include many of our smaller urban communities. I can provide a shape file of the covered areas.  Bernie. Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Bell network.

The praries (Northern alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) have vary little mappers compared to the rest of the country, it would be fun for people to give them a helping hand like we did for Fort Mac during the wild fires.

Mapbox is collaborating with StatCan to engage Canadian universities to participate in the Building Canada 2020 project by hosting mapathons during OSMGeoWeek (November 12-18, 2017). We want to make sure we are accomplishing this in a way that encourages new Canadian mappers, while also ensuring participants are being educated properly about OSM and the community. The plan is to help educate Canadian universities about organizing mapathons through documentations like teachOSM as well as to set up clear tasks for students to complete during the mapathons. We have started outlining the information on this wiki page. On the Canada OSM Tasking Manager there are already some tasks related to the Building Canada 2020 project. My plan is to add additional tasks for students to complete. The tasks will clearly outline what the students should map and where they should map.  I would like to know if you have any suggestions on cities/towns/communities in Canada to focus on, particularly rural regions that are not mapped and have high resolution imagery.
