If StatsCan is going to gather more than the just building data under the same licence, that would be sweet! The other data sets from Airdrie it would be nice to import, eventually, are address points, neighbourhood and quadrant boundaries, park benches and picnic tables, and city maintained fences.

If not then the buildings will be available in the Microsoft data which is correctly licensed. The open data licenses are a mine field. Stats is looking a releasing more municipal Open Data under the Federal Government license.
