We are in the process of finishing our basement. The studding is up and
now
I have to decide on how many outlets. I have decided to put in 8 outlets
on
one side (separate new feed) and want to ensure that this should be fine.
Can anyone tell me if this is reasonable? The basement is not a highly
used
area so I'm not overly concerned but am I safe?

What are you planning on doing there? Unless you will be running shop tools
or electric heaters it would be difficult to exceed the circuit's capacity
however many outlets you put in.

You can check with your town to see if they have a maximum, but it is
unlikely. (Well, at least here; don't know about Canada...) The circuit
does have to have a GFCI. (At least here, don't know about Canada, but for
$5 it is reasonable.)
