As far I can tell from the imagery available (Bing & Mapbox), the data from 
Geobase & Canvec are not up-to-date, neither for roads nor for buildings, and I 
do not see who in Ottawa could have them, StatCan?

They may have a city GIS team, but is that data publically available? Nope. 
Heck their "server" might even be toast as most of the city is going up in 
flames. Better to have data available, then none at all.

I'm not so sure of how much value this is.  HOT doesn't activate until it gets 
a request from the ground for that reason.  If it does then we get two tile 
systems over the same area.
Fort McMurray almost certainly has a City GIS system that has details of every 
building, Ottawa certainly does.  The roads and highways are also available in 
CANVEC for firefighters etc.

I've created a task on my tasking manager for buildings in Fort McMurray. 
Tracing buildings can help us flag buildings affected by the fire

What I can do is create a task on tasks.osmcanada.ca<http://tasks.osmcanada.ca> 
for Fort McMurray and we can trace buildings as they are not all there

As you are probably aware by now, a large portion of Fort McMurray,
Alberta has been destroyed by forest fires.

Is any freely licensed aerial imagery of the affected area available
yet? Will the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap team be creating a project
for Fort McMurray?
