The dataset lists 17 associated cities for area code 236, each with its own latitude and longitude. These city associations reflect the communities served by the numbering area when the data was compiled.

Area code 236 falls within British Columbia. Area codes are assigned geographically, but because of number portability a phone number does not always stay in the region it was originally issued for.

The approximate centre of this numbering area is located at latitude 50.43273 and longitude -121.51537, placing it within British Columbia. Coordinates are averaged from the associated city data and should be treated as a general reference point.

Area code 236 is one of hundreds of codes in the North American Numbering Plan. Codes are opened, split and overlaid by numbering administrators as demand changes, so city and region associations can shift over time.

Because of number portability, the current location of a phone number may differ from the area shown here. This page describes the area code assignment, not the physical location of an individual subscriber in Canada.
