This wraps for the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Data Server's citypage_weather API. See the ECCC MSC data site for documentation.
Geocoding (searching by city, town, county, street, etc.) is available via the geocoder library, using the OpenStreetMaps (OSM) Nominatim API.

| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Codes | The unique site code for this city. This is of the form s0000583 |
| English Names | The english name for the city/site. |
| Province Codes | The 2-digit province code for the site. |
| Latitude | The latitude coordinate for this site. |
| Longitude | The longitude coordinate for this site. |
