If I look at OpenStreetMap at Brandon there seems to be most buildings have been mapped.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Brandon%20canada# map=14/49.8381/-99.9503 They don't align perfectly with Bing but they aren't too bad. If you ask nicely someone could pick them up and move them over so they did but the highways don't quite align either. Why would you want to do an import here when most of the buildings are already mapped or am I looking in the wrong place? If I am perhaps we could identify those buildings that are likely to be of interest to be marked as accessible or not and ensure they are mapped before your event.
