Let’s talk Canadian postal codes
Oh god so I'm not the only one struggling with this. I also work for a municipality, right now we are just pulling assessment parcels matched with postal codes in AMANDA and just joining them. It's fucking ugly and terrible but the only other thing would be to pay for it (Like Environics). I get asked for this pull every now and then from our Economic Development department and I don't know if they just forget what I said last month but it's frustrating to constantly tell them NO More on reddit.com

TIL that Canada reserves the postal code "H0H 0H0" for letters addressed to Santa.
As a Canadian, whenever I see posts like these I think "How could you not know this?" but then I think how it's so common to us we don't even think of it as being a thing of note. More on reddit.com

Does anyone have a source for Postal codes?
Preemptive apology for bombarding you with links. There are a few python libraries for this, though I'm unsure whether they fully cover Canada & Mexico. https://pypi.org/project/pgeocode/ https://pypi.org/project/uszipcode/ If you need a bit more power than what those provide, you can use an API service, but you'll need to create credentials first. https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/353003 Also MapBox, OpenStreetMap or Google Maps.

April 12, 2004 - In fact, there are urban LDU (local delivery unit) codes ending in 0, but you'll never see them on letters, as they're used for post offices (including postal outlets in retail stores).

r/gis on Reddit: Let’s talk Canadian postal codes
January 23, 2024 -

First, a small vent. I think it’s ridiculous that postal code datasets are proprietary. This should be open data, like every other administrative boundary in the country. Canada Post trying to turn a profit is gross. It straddles a strange line between a crown corporation and a private organization…

Secondly, I’m curious how y’all get your postal code datasets? I work for a small municipality. We currently have a pretty convoluted workflow that takes a land ownership table, cross-references the owner’s full address with the parcel address to extract the postal code to the parcel, remove outliers like owners who don’t live in their house, dissolve the parcel boundaries together where the code matches…There must be a better way?

As I understand it, the postal code lookup website also has functions to block you from simply running a script to scrape their data en masse, so I know that’s not an option…
