[Talk-ca] Local groups? Digest, Vol 130, Issue 4

[john whelan]

Sounds like we have perhaps four or five groups covering 3,700
municpalities so the best approach will be to list the areas available and
to request basic tagging say building type and the number of levels from
where ever we can get them.  You never know mapillary may have some
coverage.

I'm thinking along the lines of Stat Can crowd sourcing efforts for
building outlines and possibly some sort of a hook involvement although
that would require some sort of validation as per the organised mapping
guidelines.

Thanks John
