This product from DMTI Spatial provides a detailed road and highway network for all of Canada and is current to September 2012.
This resource provides a more attribute-rich version of the DMTI Streetfiles product, including such features as turning radius, gradient, points of interest features as well as general topography. Please see the DMTI Spatial web resource for more information on these datasets. Key codes for several DMTI layers have been prepared to aid users in navigating through DMTI folders and products. A sample list of available coverages can be seen in the table below.
