Note The Canadian postal service significantly changed the Forward Sortation Area (FSA) boundaries between 1997 and 1998. MapPoint 2001 included the 1997 FSA boundaries; MapPoint 2004 includes the 1998 FSA boundaries. Because the boundaries changed, the 1996 census data for individual Forward Sortation Areas has changed in MapPoint 2004, even though the FSA ID code, the year (1996 census), and the variable are the same as they were in MapPoint 2001.
