[Talk-ca] Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada Data

[Denis Carriere]

For a village of only 8,100 people, adding the data manually + using
Tasking Manager might be your best option.

As for your custom web map, have you considered using CARTO
<https://carto.com/> [0] or MapboxStudio <https://www.mapbox.com/studio/>
[1]?

They are both great web OpenStreetMap based map solutions that can get you
a web map within no time. Nothing against QGIS... but it's a little clunky
trying to symbolize all your OSM & custom layers.

Parcel data shouldn't be imported into OSM, however you can import that as
a custom dataset into your custom Web map (which would look really slick!).

Best of luck!
