Forward Sortation Area Boundaries (FSA) Coordinate system: 4326 - "WGS 84" Abstract: The Forward Sortation Area (FSA) boundary product represents the first three characters of a postal code. These digits in a postal code represent specific geographic service areas that are aligned to, and have nested within, the CanMap Local Delivery Units (LDU) polygons. Source data refer to Statistics Canada, Standard Geographical Classification (SGC), 2001 Note: In 2012, there was a datum change from NAD83 to WGS84.
