Description

Given the following address:
UNIT 1 LYNN VALLEY CARE CENTRE -- 1070 Lynn Valley Rd, District of North Vancouver, BC

The geocoder will return:

UNIT 1 LYNN VLY CARE CTR -- 1070 Lynn Valley Rd, District of North Vancouver, BC

The siteName is incorrectly abbreviated. It is unknown and if it were known this doesn't happen. See [request](https://geocodertst.api.gov.bc.ca/addresses.html?maxResults=5&addressString=UNIT%201%20LYNN%20VALLEY%20CARE%20CENTRE%20--%201070%20Lynn%20Valley%20Rd,%20District%20of%20North%20Vancouver,%20BC)

Given the following:

1175 Douglas St, Oak Bay, BC

the geocoder will return the correct match but the fault value for locality.isAlias will have a value of Ok Bay. See [request](https://geocodertst.api.gov.bc.ca/addresses.html?maxResults=50&addressString=1175%20Douglas%20st,%20Oak%20Bay,%20BC)
