Being as gentle (though not local) as I can be, I continue to assert that our wiki for BC2020 in general and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Building_Canada_2020#The_data_that_could_be_mapped as a specific section IN that wiki (calling attention to these tags, with hundreds of potential values):

building
man_made
addr
start_date
entrance
amenity
and others

might prove very helpful starting points.  Often the simple act of reading OSM's built-in wiki documentation is one of the best, if not THE best starting point.  Of course, talk- mailing lists, our forum and many other sources of advice/documentation/help are available, too.

Regards.
