Redlight and Speed-camera data in Ontario, Canada

I would like to install Redlight and Speed-camera data to my Nuvi 775 and 3790, with Garmin POI Loader.
I know, that I will have to create a file on my PC for the collection of such Redlight and Speed-camera data first, then use the POI Loader to transfer the file to the devices.
Looking around, I found several sources from where this data is available for download :
POI Factory
GPS Data Team
POI Plaza
SCDB
GPS Passion-Hpatlik
Trappster - and maybe more.
I would like to get some advice for choosing the download source, which has good data collection for Ontario, Canada ?
Perhaps someone, with personal experience on using Redlight and Speed-camera Ontario data base, could suggest a source to download from ?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Works OK
The file from POI factory works just fine in Ottawa and surrounding area.

I use POI-Factory's data in and around Toronto. I've found it to be spot on.
re: Toronto
A couple of weeks ago I checked the RLC locations against the list on the City of Toronto website. There was one location missing (Bloor & Dundas); I reported it to GlobeTurtle and she added it to the file. So, unless they've installed cameras and haven't yet updated their website, the Toronto locations here are up to date.
Thank you all
Thank you all for the help and suggestions for Canadian Redlight and Speedcamera data base.
If I download from POI Factory I will get all US and Canada locations.
Is it possible to load Ontario, Canada locations only to my GPS ? How ?

It's possible (by editing the CSV file after you download it), but it would not be worth the trouble. The impact on the performance of your device would be negligible, and you'd have to perform the same edits each time you downloaded a new version of the file.

I agree with VersatileGuy.
However, if you really want to try reducing the file, here is what I would do (using the "redlight-cameras.csv" file as an example)
Open the red light file in Extra Poi Editor (EPE).
Edit > Find > "ottawa" (without the quotes)
EPE will find entry 54 (and the entry number is not material)
Tools > Sort by Location
Now entry 54 becomes the first entry in EPE which has sorted all other locations in the file based on "how far the crow files" distance they are from entry 54.
File > Save As
-> navigate to the desired directory
-> change the Save as Type to Garmin CSV (*.csv)
-> give the file a name
-> save
Now open this just saved file in Excel
Find line 222 and verify that this is the last of the entries you might need.
Delete the lines below line 222.
If you want to delete any US locations in the first 222 line, do so.
Then, save the file.
