EPSG:22408 NAD83(CSRS)v4 / UTM zone 8N
Projected system (Transverse Mercator) in use: Canada - 138°W to 132°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.
