These tips are much appreciated. My apologies for the misinformation about your 
involvement with the folks at the Taskar Centre. We have the call out for local 
OSM Task Manager volunteers and are hoping to recruit them asap. Fleming 
College has an excellent GIS program as does Trent University. We are also 
hoping for support from the Toronto OSM folks.

one impotant take away from past experiences is to tell them not to map the 
same element twice. For example, someone else maps it first, dont add it on top 
as well(duplicate item mapping)

Using a Tasking Manager solve most of the duplicate editing issues. The TM 
breaks the the area into grids or a polygon shape you provide. Each mapper 
checks out a section which is then locked to prevent others from editing at the 
same time. You do need to remind people that the lock expires after 2 hours. 
All they need to do is exit from the task then reselect it to restart the timer.

Got it. Thanks, James. On another note, we are still looking for 8-10 
facilitators for our March 29 mapathon in Durham Region. I approached the 
Toronto OSM and will follow-up with them at their next Meetup on Monday. I also 
let the Peterborough chapter of GoGeomatics. The challenge is that the colleges 
had a lengthy strike in the fall and have no time to participate in 
extra-curricular activities this year.

Rob Halkon, GIS Supervisor at the Durham Region, has approval to host an 
all-day mapathon event on March 29. The region has kindly offered to provide 
the venue with food. I attended the Toronto OSM Meetup last week and they 
suggested someone by the name of Richard might be able to help with the 
training, We are meeting on Friday Feb 23 from 1 pm to 4 pm to create a “flight 
plan” for the mapathon. This event will be followed up with a second event in 
late September or early October prior to the Oct 22 Municipal Elections in 
Ontario. We want to connect it to mapping trees in a narrowly defined boundary 
and connect it to the theme of sustainable development goals and climate 
change. We also want to use the BC2020i framework and mobile app for this 
event. Your feedback is welcome.

Hi all,

During the discussion of cleaning up municipality names in Canada, it 
was suggested that the addr:city could be removed entirely if the 
appropriate boundaries are defined.   I would hazard to guess (and 
will endeavour to investigate) that the addr:city and the boundaries 
do not always align in Canada (there are ~11300 administrative 
boundaries of some type and there are ~7000 unique addr:city tags)... 
so this will be a much more long term effort.

However, the provincial/territorial boundaries are defined, so 
removing the addr:country, addr:provice and addr:state tags might be a 
more reasonable at this time.  (addr:country is used ~94% less than 
addr:street)

Tags, by number of occurrences:

  167902 addr:country

   33252 addr:state

  179741 addr:province

2950115 addr:city

2942159 addr:street

2934341 addr:housenumber

To start the cleanup process, the following *Ontario* cities are being 
changed (remove "City of" or "City Of").   Once that is done, I'll 
come back with the next batch to process...

The idea to remove the city name in its entirety will require careful 
consideration to ensure the necessary boundary relations are in place 
and of course more discussion to see if people are comfortable to 
proceed on that kind of activity.
