Footnotes ...

<1>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 La Baie, 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 La Baie). 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 La Baie or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the Canada Post / Postes Canada.
<2>Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of La Baie, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.
