All this is open for discussion at this point. We are looking at all the options.<br>
By defining a project its more like stating what information we wish to focus on.<br>
We hope to work with the OSM community and we are looking at different ways of doing that.<br>
We also have different data sources that we will be evaluating to potentially link to these buildings.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your feedback!<br>

Hey Bjenk,<br>
When you say "define a project" are you talking about<br>
<br>
(a) describing a scope of work that StatsCan intends to resource and complete?<br>
(b) describing a scope of work that StatsCan hopes the OSM community<br>
will complete on your behalf?<br>
<br>
You've used the passive voice in describing the actual collection in<br>
your description below, so it's not completely clear who you think<br>
will be collecting the information.<br>
