British Columbia road network update
April 20, 2010
On behalf of the Canadian Council on Geomatics (CCOG), Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is pleased to announce the latest release of the British Columbia portion of National Road Network (NRN). The update was produced by and carried out in the framework of a maintenance agreement between NRCan and GeoBC of the Integrated Land Management Bureau (ILMB) of the Government of British Columbia with funding support from GeoConnections.
This GeoBase NRN release conforms to version 2.0 data specifications. It contains almost 1000km of new roads as well as many other attributive and geometric updates.
The release files were produced by the GeoBC's Crown Registry & Geographic Base Branch (CRGB) in consultation with the Centre for Topographic Information - Sherbrooke. The underlying road network data is continuously maintained through partnerships with private companies and local governments.
Data Change Management (DCM) files between 2010-04 and previous 2009-05 releases are also available for this dataset.
