[Talk-ca] Mapping of wetlands in Montreal

[Olivier Hill]

Daniel, Sam,

It is available in .shp format (and another one that I can't recall).

I had one response already, they will be discussing it internally.

It's primarly a license issue, not a format issue.

I'll keep you posted!

Thanks,
Olivier
