Food Basics’s store locator isn’t covered by All the Places, so its locations come from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), checked against Overture Maps where it has the chain. Counts can be a little off: new stores open, old ones close, and a few locations may be missing. Population figures are Statistics Canada estimates for July 2026.
