Lineage:
Lineage statement:
Based on CanMap Municipality Boundaries, area code boundaries represent Canadian telephone area codes.  Municipal boundaries were collected up and then dissolved into one boundary for each area code.  Edits were made based on notices from: SAIC Canada announcement BC.TEL00.4001.00  and for Ontario Bell Canada announcement CAN.01.24100.01.  Edits to the boundaries were made in based on realignment with 2001 Census and CANprv boundaries
