Quick update (maybe to inspire other contributors): I've finished adding street names in Drummondville. Unfortunately, there is no high-res aerial imagery there and so I had to rely exclusively on Canvec/Geobase. There were a few spots were the data looked sketchy and I didn't add streets there. Let's hope we have some locals to finish the work there.
Alright, on to Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville. Harald (who's currently in Toronto and marveling at OSM's data quality downtown!)
