Footnotes ...

<1>	While Chance Harbour is in the Atlantic Time Zone, the area to the west is in the Eastern Time Zone (EST/EDT).
<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 506 code has been Overlayed with the 428 area code. New phone numbers in the Chance Harbour area will be assigned with one of these codes: 506 or 428. As a result, placing a call in the Chance Harbour 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 Chance Harbour, 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 Chance Harbour). 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 Chance Harbour or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the Canada Post / Postes Canada.
<4>	Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Chance Harbour, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.
