Hi,
As Rick indicated, getting free data at reasonably high
resolution is a problem in Canada. The Feds do offer low
resolution data, but nothing approaching the US DRG's or
10-30m DEM's. You would have to contact provincial sources
for data at that resolution, and in BC each map sheet could
cost up to $600. One of my students was told, when
asking for DEMs for the province in order to conduct some
research: you are asking for over a million$ in data....
So, best of luck!
Brian
