    Solution:
    • 17A 27A, 7D 37D, 47D
    • The title is 4 × 7 × 7 = 196, then going up forty is 196 + 40 = 236
    • 236 is the area code (for a phone number, which you can lookup) for British Columbia
    • Bonus: British Columbia is also the 7th province/territory to enter the Confederation!

      Wow this was really tricky! Fun grid 😊

      I think maybe the clue for INTO needs a "with 'is'" or something like that - not sure that the part of speech quite matches as is.

        I redid the clue, hopefully it's a little bit clearer
