Precision scope: City of Toronto One Address Repository Land address point for 250 Front St W, the address Telehouse Canada gives for this data centre; the catalogue says points are positioned within the parcel or the building footprint. Used as the campus locator for the large Canadian Broadcasting Centre building, within which the data centre occupies only part: it locates the building's civic address, not the data-centre floors or a surveyed position.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The City of Toronto publishes no positional accuracy for One Address Repository points; the catalogue states only that points lie within the parcel or the building footprint, and the footprint and parcel were not retrieved.
Geometry evidence: 079806ad

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
