Canadian Spellcheck Dictionary
Spellcheck programs in English-language word processors generally don't recognize Canadian spellings (e.g. labour rather than labor, centre rather than center) or Canadian place names.
A solution is to add the terms in question to your word processor's spellcheck dictionary.
Cut and paste the list of words below into your word processor and run the spelling checker. You can then use to add some or all of the following terms and spellings into the spelling checker's dictionary.
The list below is my no means complete (suggestions for additions are welcome) and at the same time probably contains words you don't use. Just add the ones you want and ignore the rest.
