Footnotes ...

<1>	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 905 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 289, 365 or 742. New phone numbers in the Whitby area will be assigned with one of these codes: 905, 289, 365 or 742. As a result, placing a call in the Whitby area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
<2>	Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Whitby, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.
