EPSG:2027 NAD27(76) / UTM zone 15N
Projected system (Transverse Mercator) in use: Canada - Ontario - west of 90°W. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.
EPSG publishes no simple transformation to WGS 84 for this datum: conversion works on the ellipsoid alone and can be off by tens of metres.
