NO MORE TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
As of January 2007, Natural Resources Canada will discontinue the
printing of paper topographic maps and will close the Canada Map Office.
  Many of us rely heavily on these maps and there isn't always a good
alternative, especially for those without access to large plotters. If
you want more information on the topic and how you can voice your
disapproval (if you disagree), please see the website:
