[Talk-ca] Aboriginal Lands

[Bégin, Daniel]

Bonjour again Paul,

An example is not yet available but yes, it will form closed area split like large lake.  That is a limitation of the Canvec.osm product for the moment :-(

Does this mean that they would form closed areas split like large lakes are?
If so, this makes them unsuitable for importing into OSM without significant work.

Can we see an example area so that we know what you are proposing?
