Not to be mistaken with Greenview industrial area, or Thorncliffe-Greenview community, or the Municipal District of Greenview in Northern Alberta. This is definitely the COP station - just called "Greenview".
I can find no historical reference of the COP/Winsport/Paskapoo area ever being referred to as Greenview. Does anyone know?

Environment Canada recently updated their location database and added a ton of extra "places". You'll notice it if you had Calgary bookmarked. It now sends you to a page showing nearby locations, and the new web URL now shows coordinates for Calgary instead of "AB-52". I assume this is a change to model based forecasting instead of location specific. There's no way they're actually forecasting specifically for Shepard in the SE!
