This point is notable for being located inside a building - a large Distribution Centre. Although there are several Degree Confluence Points located inside buildings in the U.S. and Europe, it’s quite remarkable for such a point to exist in a sparsely-populated country like Canada. (Earlier this year, I managed to visit such a point in the similarly sparsely-populated country of Australia.) </p> <p> By walking up to one of the doors on the eastern side of the Distribution Centre, I was able to get 12m (+/- GPS error of 2m) from the point. Just to the north, a large Canadian Tire truck was parked at the next door, loading stock. </p></div><br clear=left> </td> </tr> <tr><td align="left" bgcolor="#000070" width="535"><font face="helvetica,arial" size="-1" color="#FFFFFF"> <b>All pictures</b></font></td></tr> <tr><td><font face="helvetica,arial" size="-1"><a href="/photo.php?visitid=21937&pic=1">#1: The confluence point is 12m inside this building.
