I have been to Flin Flon -- way way way back in my own history.
I recall little except for an A & W that served Great, great, great,

In my searching, I found a website that lists cross border (CAUS)
telephone calling areas with no tolls,
and Canadian provincial areas as well.
Note that Hyder, Alaska uses the BC area code.
