Hi all,
Please accept my apology for this misunderstanding, I thought our presence
for last OSM meeting and flowing emails in Talk-ca and with John were part
of communication and discussion, we launched our wikipage two weeks ago,
and we did not receive any feedback, so we thought to start import via
JOSM.

as we expalined in our wikipage, we created the algorithm to detect the
missing information, and then we check the quality of this information on
JOSM on the top of OpenStreetMap, Bing Areal imagery, GeoBase Road network
and some local municpal open data. the data is created initially through
StatCan, however, we noticed the low quality of StatCan road segment
geometry, so we deal with this issue by using complement dataset such as
OpenStreetMap, Bing Areal imagery, GeoBase Road network and some local
municpal open data. all created nodes and ways are carefully inspected
visually using above dataset for more that 6 weeks.

Our final verification will be on the OSM server (on-line) to avoid or
detect any issues. Our aim is having high quality address information in
OSM for sake of community. we were very prudent from the first step to have
a high quality source of information.

I hope that the community will accept our contribution and enjoy to use the
data.

Best regards,

Mojgan
