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 418 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 367 or 581. New phone numbers in the Sainte Marie area will be assigned with one of these codes: 418, 367 or 581. As a result, placing a call in the Sainte Marie area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
<2>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 Sainte Marie, 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 Sainte Marie). 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 Sainte Marie or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the Canada Post / Postes Canada.
<3>Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Sainte Marie, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.
