Well, as it happens, this same dataset is listed at this link, <https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bc-address-geocoder-web-service>, as available under Open Government Licence - British Columbia. And the address data it uses comes from the BC Assessment Authority, not the ICIS. So that might bode a bit better.

I recently made some inquiries in BC in the spring of 2024. I discovered the Integrated Cadastral Information Society is the aggregator for next Gen 911 address data in BC. Unfortunately, ICIS is arms length from the provincial government and may not be covered by the province's open data policy. Furthermore, I was told by the head of ICIS that their address point data would not be released as open data.I am not certain how this info relates to the links provided in this thread. But it does not bode well.Bernie.On Mon, Oct 14, 2024, 6:58 p.m. David E.

It gives access to a dataset containing what I believe is every single street address in the province of British Columbia. The same dataset also appears to be accessible at this link, <https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/kml/geocoder/BCGov_Physical_Address_Viewer_Loader.kml>. However, it is not clear whether this specific dataset has been properly licenced for use by OpenStreetMap. If not, can OSM open a discussion with the province with a view to getting this dataset under the correct licence so we can start making proper use of it?_______________________________________________- David E.
