Footnotes ...
<1> | The pronunciation we've provided is our attempt to give a phonetic pronunciation for Tsawwassen. While it might not be exactly right, hopefully it will be close. If we have it wrong or there's a better way to pronounce the name, please contact us through our Feedback Page. |
<2> | When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 604 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 236, 250, 672 or 778. New phone numbers in the Tsawwassen area will be assigned with one of these codes: 604, 236, 250, 672 or 778. As a result, placing a call in the Tsawwassen area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
<3> | The Canadian Postal Code consists of 6 characters, where the first three characters are the 'Forward Sortation Area (FSA)', with the last three characters being the 'Local Delivery Unit (LDU)'. In the case of Tsawwassen, we provide only the FSA and not the LDU. The Canadian Postal Codes were created as a way of grouping addresses to make delivery more efficient. So keep in mind that any given Postal Code is only 'loosely' associated with a community (such as Tsawwassen). The boundaries of the Postal Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other Postal Codes. When looking for a Postal Code, whether Tsawwassen or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the Canada Post / Postes Canada. |
