[Talk-ca] Importing MLI park boundaries

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,
The National Parks data will be removed from the osm api next friday,
as it will be considered 'tainted data' since the person who uploaded
the data doesn't agree to the new contributor terms.
This helps, as it makes it easier to add in the Manitoba parks data.


Since knowone volunteered, the conversion script for the MLI data will
be availbale on github :)
and the shape files on koordinates.com

Soon(TM)


cheers,
sam
