EPSG:22265 NAD83(CSRS)v2 / Alberta 3TM ref merid 120 W
Projected system (Transverse Mercator) in use: Canada - Alberta - west of 118.5°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.
