Hey Brent,
Thanks for that; it looks like there's quite a wealth of data available
there!!!  I am going to have to read over the license again and make sure
it's compatible; there is a LOAD of data in there that I could make use of,
including municipal boundaries, building shapes, etc. 
The road network is also quite comprehensive as you say and has a wealth
of classification data that could supplement the Canvec data quite nicely.

Great to see there is yet another useful resource out there!

Thanks,
Tyler
