[Talk-ca] 031H05 and 031H12 Canvec Import

[Sam Vekemans]

Awesome!
Do you have the .osm files that you converted & uploaded?
Would you be able to make them available (provide a link to it)
Were you able to get all of the building areas in those 2 tiles?

Thanks,
Sam

P.S. I updated the Google Docs chart indicating your progress.
