[Talk-ca] broken forests in eastern Canada

[Jean-Denis Giguere]

Bonjour Antoine,

Pour la limite des parcs, les descriptions techniques des délimitations
font partie des règlements sur l’établissement des parcs nationaux [1]. Il
y a là des repères susceptibles d'aider à leur cartographie.
Une autre alternative consisterait à transmettre une demande au Ministère
des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs pour obtenir les données géospatiales
de leur délimitation avec l'autorisation expresse d'intégrer les données
dans OpenStreetMap.


Salutations cordiales,


Jean-Denis
