GeoBC now calls the BC Boundary layer BC_Boundary_Terrestrial_Singlepart Modify layer_in_file key in sources.csv if re-running.

The high resolution boundary has been published in the catalogue, should be able to get with bcdata

Great news!

It won't be available directly via Python bcdata as it just accesses the WFS/WCS. But that doesn't matter - there is a url, that is just as good or better. ftp://ftp.geobc.gov.bc.ca/sections/outgoing/bmgs/BC_Boundary_Terrestrial/BC_Boundary_Terrestrial.gpkg.zip

Presuming the posted GPKG/gdb are exactly the same, I'd probably just use the .gdb, it is smaller: ftp://ftp.geobc.gov.bc.ca/sections/outgoing/bmgs/BC_Boundary_Terrestrial/BC_Boundary_Terrestrial.gdb.zip

Excellent! I assume they should be the same

I already noted this as fixed in the fork - but with this update, no manual downloads remain. https://github.com/smnorris/designatedlands/commit/8d90268e2c33b69d736c6a3580f94b06b0cd7269
