[Talk-ca] Firing Range Mistagged as Cemetery?

A couple years ago, before the CFB closed down, there was a firing
range for the military. A high school has since been built there, but
you can see [1] for the approximate position (the range still appears
in Yahoo and Bing). I was doing some Canvec 7 import for my area, and
noticed that this area was marked as a cemetery. I think that Canvec 7
might have an issue with mistagging military=range or sport=shooting
as landuse=cemetery (in a similar way to the already identified
comical school->prison mistag). Unfortunately I don't know of any
other ranges where I can test this theory. Might be something to look
into. Or maybe it really was a cemetery before the military took over?
