I live in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. The first major project I have done on OpenStreetMap is painting the boundaries of all of British Columbia’s Regional Districts. I have also completed surveying street addresses in my local area. I have also started and am maintaining WikiProject Canada Post. Other than that, I usually do odd edits here and there within the province.
