Despite being a seemingly arbitrary and meaningless fact, the exact center of Canada is actually up for debate. However, the Longitudinal Centre of Canada has been established and is marked by a uniquely specific road sign.

With signs on both sides of the Trans-Canadian Highway, anyone traveling horizontally across Canada in either direction will know exactly when they are half-way there. The sign is also presented in both English and French so that no one is left out of the cartographic fun. The exact coordinates are 96° 48’ 35” as noted on the road signs and the spot was determined to be the center of the country based on the distance from its farthest outlying islands on either side.
