Of course it is airport since this is an airport codes quiz! Now here is how the word was made from the codes. YXX is Abbotsford, BC (A). YGR is Iles de la Madeleine, PQ (I). YQR is Regina, SK (R). YXS is Prince George, BC (P). YOW is Ottawa, ON (O). YOP is Rainbow Lake, AB (R) and finally YYZ is Toronto, ON (T).

This one is pretty easy, just read carefully and it is a snap. YHZ is Halifax, Nova Scotia. YBK is Baker Lake, Northwest Territories. YYZ is Toronto, Ontario. YBG is Bagotville, Quebec. YMT is Chibougamu, Quebec.

7. This city (YYD) has the same name as a character in 'The Simpsons'. Can you name the city and therefore guess which character it is?

Answer: YVR

I would of course go to YVR - Vancouver, British Columbia, and not to any of the other cities (YYC - Calgary, AB. YCG - Castlegar, BC. YBL - Campbell River, BC.)
