AB_CSRS.DAC
This gridded difference file AB_CSRS.DAC will need to be renamed to AB_CSRS.gsb to run in some software suites. Formats identical, but AB file is provincial fit only.

Cadastre, survey control and engineering survey in urban areas, typically in all municipalities that previously comprised the 73 Municipal Integrated Surveying and Mapping (MISAM) areas, also known as urban cadastral map areas. For rural areas use UTM.
If used for rural area control markers, area of use is amended to east of 112°W; however use of NAD27 / UTM zone 12N (CRS code 26712) is encouraged in these rural areas.
Canada - Alberta - east of 112°30'W.
Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (E,N). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
