Thanks for that link Elaine.

I (like others) was apprehensive about what kind of license the BC
government would end up using or devising . My fear was that it would
be some custom license that would create too much risk to use the
data. I agree that basing the license on the UK model will work.
Congratulations to those involved in this decision.

It's been a little quiet here so i'm going to give you a little homework:)

I'm putting together a list of custodians of open data (relatively open is fine too!) in BC (or even Canada), so I will appreciate if you contribute to the list.

I think this is going to be an extremely useful list for everybody.

ok...here we go:

 

1. Data BC: (http://www.data.gov.bc.ca/)

2. ICIS - Integrated Cadastral Information Society

3. ILRR - Integrated land and resource registry (https://apps.gov.bc.ca/apps/ilrr/html/ILRRWelcome.html)

4. LTSA - Land Title and Survey Authority of BC

5. BC Stats (http://www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/services.asp)

Cheers
