Hi Kevin,
As we were chatting earlier..
(cc:talk-ca list)

I just want to show you a sample.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=-123.8369687&minlat=48.7525877&maxlon=-123.7812077&maxlat=48.7667345&box=yes
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4329006

It appears that the National Protected area's file DOES contain provincial
park boundaries.

I've converted & created 11 .osm files.   and i think it's best to just copy
in 1 at a time, as there is no rush.

This one is interesting because the Cowichan Vally Regional District ALSO
has the parks file (but i think it's just for regional parks)

Anyway... i was thinking creating a new tag "boundary=provincial_park"  kind
of like how we have the proposal for boundary=aborigional_lands.

Im also making .gpx files out of the whole thing, as it will help.
>From the Toporama WMS, the provincial/national parks are listed as nodes. ..
so these could be swapped out as you go along.


Cheers,
Sam
