Recently I’ve been doing some digging to figure out what license the various rural municipalites in Alberta use for their GIS data, and I stumbled upon the AMDSP (Alberta Municipal Data Sharing Partnership), which provides municipal-level data for over half of Alberta’s municipalities. I also discovered that the data is governed by an Open Government License which is identical to other Canadian OGL’s already approved for use in OSM (this license can be viewed here, at the data download portal: https://amos.amdsp.ca/Views/publicdownload.html)
The AMDSP data provides roads, addresses, and “landmarks” (names of neighborhoods/parks), and includes 263 partner municipalities. These include several major Alberta cities including Red Deer, Medicine Hat, Brooks, Camrose, and a plethora of rural municipalities, small towns, and first nations.
I’ve reached out to the LWG to get the data license “officially” approved, but thought I’d also post it on here, so that more people are aware that this data source can be used. Once the LWG affirms it’s approval I can add the full list of the municipalities covered by AMDSP onto the OSM Canada Wiki.
