For my area, I've asked one of the previous boundary mappers of the source of info, it was cantopo (plus I got an OK to replace the data). It should be good to ask other people who added boundaries.<br><br>Overall, I think boundaries are very different from other mapping, as those are not "on-the-ground". If there's a consistent source of data, it should be used preferentially to one-offs. We just don't have enough local people to cover all the vast spaces in Canada.<br>

</div>I presume you mean "keep the existing data and don't use the duplicate<br>
data from the file."<br>

</div>Come on now, you aren't really suggesting removing existing boundary<br>
data just to add it back in, are you? That doesn't sound very<br>
considerate of the previous mappers.<br>
<br>
Have you looked at the relative technical merits of the existing<br>
boundary data and the StatsCan data Tyler just converted? Are they<br>
from the same source, or is one of provably lower quality?<br>
<br>
How about starting with a smaller test than a complete province?<br>
Would anyone care to take a look at their neigbourhood and the related<br>
and adjacent boundaries?<br>
