[Talk-ca] Mapping of wetlands in Montreal

[Bégin, Daniel]

I would agree with Olivier,

Non-GeoBase themes have not been updated in southern Canada for 20 years - with few exceptions

Richard,

I can tell you right now that the Ducks Illimited Data is *WAY* more recent.

They have used special 3D techniques to identify small areas that were not known before to be wetlands.

They can also better classify. For example, CanVec has lakes beside my home, they don't exist, it's more likely to be small wet saturated soil.

Best,
Olivier
