Footnotes ...

<1>While Fredericton 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 Fredericton area will be assigned with one of these codes: 506 or 428. As a result, placing a call in the Fredericton area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
<3>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Fredericton - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<4>Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Fredericton, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.
