[OSGeo BC] Re: GIS data

[Sam Vekemans]

Great,
Thanks.
Please contact Frank Steggink, as he is the one in charge of
organizing all data thats available to be used in OSM for Canada.

Also, if you have any connections with GeoBC, it would be great to
encourage that dataset to also be made available to the public (or
just the data that you have) to be made available on a provincial
level.

Im sure there are many trail groups who could make use of the data, as
well as OpenStreetMap.

There is currently a HUGE amount of data (including trail data). Frank
will be able to organize it, and decide on the best method to deal
with it.

(i forwarded this message to him)

Im sure he will be happy to help you out.

Also, if its a CRD source? id recommend also donating your data to
GeoGratis, Natural Resources Canada to be included in the CanVec
dataset, so then more people will be able to use the data.

Cheers,
