[Talk-ca] Improving navigation data in several cities in Canada

[Denis Carriere]

Great stuff Maning & the Mapbox team,

As for Ottawa, we have a good OSM community ready to help out for street
level photos.

We can host a few Mapillary/OpenStreetView events to promote the use of
OpenData in Canada.

Cheers,
