From: cmoore@BRL.ARPA (Carl Moore, VLD/VMB) >Yesterday, I looked at list of area codes in the Orange County (California) >directory, and noticed that 403 was listed as the area code for Alberta, >Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories with the latter 2 noted as "TEMP."! >Why TEMP? First of all, although the Yukon Territories and Northwest Territories are very large geographically, there really aren't a lot of people there. Also, the Inuit don't have a lot of telephones. I'm sure that as the area becomes more populated (maybe a long time from now), they will get their own areacode. In reality, Only Yukon T, and the District of McKenzie in the NWT share an areacode with Alberta (403). The District of Kewatin and Resolute Bay in the NWT share an areacode with the Sherbrooke, Quebec region (819) I would imagine that Northwestern Canada receives its services from Alberta, while Northeaster Canada receives its services from Eastern Canada.
