I shall post this request to both the OSGEO data and Ottawa OSGEO lists.

Perhaps we'll find a few other keeners to help out.

Cheers

Hi All (probably Dave and I at the moment),

We have been working on creating an FSA (or Forward Sortation Area, the
first three characters of a Canadian postal code) polygon layer.  
To do this, we are using the 2005 RNF and 2001 Census Division file both
from Statistics Canada, along with information from Canada Post on the
names of roads that serve as FSA boundaries. We have made some progress
at this point, but ultimately there is a fair amount of hand work
involved, and we need hands to help.

Dan
