        "a": "All five cover Alberta, but they were not introduced the same way. 403 (1947) and 780 (1999) are geographic codes tied to the south and the north of the province respectively. 587 (2008), 825 (2016) and 368 (2022) are distributed overlays assigned across the whole province, regardless of city. 825 was the second of these overlays, added once 403, 780 and 587 together neared exhaustion.
