[Talk-ca] StatsCan Address Ranges in OpenJUMP -- how to interpret them?

[Dan Putler]

Hi Tyler,

Yes, the less than great spatial accuracy of the StatsCan RNF are well
known (and they are the first to admit this). StatsCan is intending to
move over to the NRN when they can (i.e., once enough provinces have
released address ranged data). The current RNF has been rubber sheeted
to match the NRN to the greatest extent possible.
