As for general availability of the files I have this email chain(which was
documented that there was bureaucracy behind the scenes):

So long as it can be noted that the City of Ottawa does not intend to keep
this information up-to-date, I don’t see why not.

Hello,



I want to thank you for sharing the data on urban buildings. I am looking
into getting this file into the hands of OSM Canada and I am considering
the open.canada.ca portal.



Are you comfortable with that approach?



Kind regards,



Bjenk Ellefsen, PhD

Hi Bjenk,
