These are part of the Geodetic Survey of Canada as vertical control points; the horizontal co-ordinates are no longer maintained and are scaled so they may not be accurate.

The horizontal co-ordinates in GSC are a considerable distance from the actual marker location (apox. 80m & 30m respectively).
