And as a local chapter new comers could suggest/view tasks to work on. Kind of like what we did for Fort Mac. A centralized communication hub would enable us to move forward and concentrate our efforts(small remote villages for example) On Sep 28, 2017 12:12 PM, "Matthew Darwin"

Re: [Talk-ca] OSM Canada & State of the Map US: Oct 20-22

Hi all, I responded to Matthew off-list an on, but my response bounced to here because I used an alternate email address. Speaking as the secretary of the OSMF board and non-Canadian: we welcome new Local Chapters and any movement towards that. A first step is to gain sufficient momentum; a

Hi Brian, In my view we definitely need OSMCanada to go beyond the big cities. It is not "Canada" if we don't. In my view the main things that a collection of people cannot do on their own are: 1) Have a bank account. There are groups that would give and organization money to do things

I hadn't heard of them and I'm in Ottawa but there again I'm not very sociable. I question why such a decision would be made out of the country? Does it matter if someone creates a not for profit Canadian corporation? I think it would have to change its name though there have been discussions
