Similar to does not mean the same unless it is the TB Open Data license but I suspect it predates that one. Given that Stats Canada has said it will make the data available through the Federal Government's Open Data portal real soon now I suspect that an email from the city even to yourself would be acceptable.
There is an import process speak nicely to James and he may be kind enough to handhold you through it. The LWG will give an opinion on the license but it could take some considerable time to do so. The import needs to be approved by a the local community. In Ottawa two or three local mappers gathered together over coffee to approve it. I think there were more than three. Given your suspected time frames its probably best to document the import fairly quickly. That way it allows for those mappers who feel imports are terrible to have their say.
