Hi all,
I think this originally only went to Dara, so sorry for the duplication, but
"Nunavut" is the correct spelling, and "NT" the abbreviation, same as for
NWT, even though they're separate territories. For other info on postal
codes/abbreviations for provinces, territories and the like go to the Canada
Post site, it's at: www.canadapost.ca
Cheers,

According to my sources
1) Nunavut is correct
2) NU is the abbreviation

Hello Dara-
1) The correct spelling for it is "Nunavut"
2) To the best of my knowledge, they are both NT - all addresses I have
seen within Nunavut carry NT as their descriptor. I could be wrong but I
have not seen any other code.

Subject:MI Help with Canadian Provincial Abbreviations
Hello all.
I hope someone can help me.
I am adding a 2-character field to the "Cncty_3k" file to identify the
Canadian Province (or Territory). As my source for the 2-digit code, I am
using the "Province" column in the "Canada" table. I believe that both
tables are the supplied with MapInfo.
Here are the problems:
1). The "Cncty_3k" file says that the provincial name is
"Nunvaut". The "Canada" file says that it is spelled "Nunavut". Which is
correct?
2). The "Canada" file says that the abbreviation for Nunavut is
"NT". That is the same abbreviation for the Northwest Territories. Can
someone tell me what the abbreviation is for the Northwest Territories as
well as the Nuvaut Territory?
Thanks!
-Dara Thompson
