Definitely not communities. That would be too much of them.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion.

Hi Lentic,

Sorry, I could not be of more help.

You are welcome to post to the HL7 community as well.

I reached out to Joel Francis our FHIR expert and he suggested that you may wish to post to chat.fhir.org, if Igor's recommendation (www.nrcan.gc.ca/earth-sciences/geography/place-names/canadian-geographical-names-database/19870) isn't what you are looking for.

Thank you.

Regards,

Andrea

Keep in mind that you are asking for cities, do you mean to ask for all communities? For example, Newfoundland Labrador has 3 cities but over 1400 communities.

Hi,

Thank you much much for your kindness help! I am looking for a code set of Canadian cities which we could use in our FHIR message.
But I think I post my question to the wrong discussion Forum. So sorry about this, I am new to this info community. Do you think I should post this question under HL7 discussion?

Thanks again,
Lentic

Lentic, I believe you are looking for a lookup rather than a value set since city names are not codes.

Take a look at Canadian Geographical Names Database

This database provides an online querying service, data downloads and a comprehensive API.
