Geodetic context in Canada

The national geodetic reference in Canada is maintained by Natural Resources Canada (CSRS). The active datum is NAD83(CSRS). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in Canada you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
