  on-line web service providing information about Canada's geographical names including
  location, status, classification and other details with each official geographical name.

* Postal Code Lookup
  Powered by the CGDI Postal Code Lookup Service which returns geometries for known forward
  sortation area (FSA) postal codes.

  handling XHR requests without having to worry about the same origin security policy

  for MapServer services.
