The richness of this new data layer comes from information on height and elevation of the buildings that will help support Canadian governments priorities such as emergency management, particularly for flood and earthquake risk analysis. This release contains close to 1 million building footprints. We will expand this coverage as more LiDAR data becomes available over Canada.” See the Lidar coverage (in green) https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/earth-sciences/geography/topographic-information/free-data-geogratis/whats-new/21742 NRCan will continu to add new building Thank you François Paquette De : keith hartley [mailto:keith.a.hart...@gmail.com] Envoyé : samedi 27 avril 2019 10:54 À : John Whelan Cc : Alessandro (STATCAN); Talk-CA OpenStreetMap Objet : Re: [Talk-ca] NRC building footprints - from lidar I think its where there's good lidar data and imagry for extraction in selected parts of Canada.

It's Building footprints from Lidar or high res imagery. https://canadiangis.com/automatically-extracted-buildings-canadian-open-data.php?fbclid=IwAR22SaWwz7--LarDksVfcQuZ9RDgkVc421n9saJ_Lv8r6xq1qPSrouEF0Ww https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/7a5cda52-c7df-427f-9ced-26f19a8a64d6 >From what I can tell when placing the data over imagery it's very bang on. >Highly accurate, good shapes (unlike the bing files) and well placed.

I can write an upload plan on Manitoba wiki as the data is complaint license wise. Anything else I should be looking for? The local mappers here are pretty excited about it.
