[Talk-ca] Geogratis

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi Frank,
I see your working on the wiki, it CERTAINLY needs it :)

The Canada Import is organized with 2 main federal sources.
NRCan & GeoBase
and 1 main provincial source - Land Information Ontario
NRCan has geogratis & CanVec

geogratis has: National protected areas & Aborigional lands

canvec is a collection of 90 features & 11 themes all in 1 dataset

geobase has NHN, NRN, ground control points, wms images are separate datasets

Land Information Ontario has 40 datasets each downloaded separatly.

Features exist as duplicates across each dataset, some are better than others :)

Im now working on trails dataset of Land information Ontario :)

Cheers,
Sam
