It is my understanding the Toponym was replaced by a layer cleraly named as 1580009, TO theme. Sigh. Anayway, thank god for the arcGIS utility that organizes and symbolizes all the data. I am having a problem with labelling tough. The clearly named categories such as Hydrology Features for example have been replaced by a number. That's great. Machine database indexing is probably loving this setup but it's not very friendly when I am trying to make a map using this data. There is the GEONAMEDB field but that only has 3 values then there is the DATANAME field but that has too many values (042D11, 042D12, etc.) I am basically looking for a table that can translate these codes into something a human can understand. I was not able to find it in the available documentation. Have you been able to tackle labelling with Canvec.
