StatsCanada has made an interesting announcement regarding a crowdsourcing effort. From a recent announcement, “we have officially launched the crowdsourcing campaign for the pilot project “Mapping your community through crowdsourcing.”
From StatsCan:
- visit the map editor application and start mapping
- select buildings and provide information by filling out the form on the map editor application
- place a marker if you know about a shop, service or business at a specific location, and fill out as much of the form as you can
- map your own business.

As a project contributor, you can help create a free and open source of information on commercial, industrial, government and other buildings in Canada. We need your support to close this important data gap! Your work will improve your community’s knowledge of its buildings, and in turn inform policies and programs designed to help you.
