April 2, 2007

On behalf of the Canadian Council on Geomatics (CCOG), Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is pleased to announce the release of the second update of the Alberta portion of National Road Network (NRN).

This new NRN GeoBase dataset was produced by and carried out in the framework of a maintenance agreement between NRCan and Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation (AIT). The work for this activity is performed by a private firm contracted by AIT.

This update contains more than 3 000 km of new roads and many other attributive and geometric updates. Data Change Management (DCM) files between 2007-04 and previous 2006-03 releases are also provided for this dataset.

All supporting documentation for NRN Data Change Management can be found within the following NRN GeoBase documents:
