Bonjour tous le monde, I have generated a 30m and 31m contour lines for Richelieu river and lake Champlain (using SRTM data). It fits the 30m contour provided by Jean-Guilhem but doesn't seem to fit pretty well the flooded wetland area provided by Pierre. Any idea if this data can be used

I agree with Olivier, It certainly needs more effort but the result is there. Blind import never helps. It just mess-up with others work. Blind Canvec import could have been done by NRCan, messing-up all the work done by each OSM contributor. It doesn't help the project to have the impression
