How is this list made?
Places come from four open sources (OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, Statistics Canada’s ODCAF, the federal and Québec heritage registers), each site once. A building counts as a place to visit only with opening hours, a fee, a website, a heritage operator or a Wikipedia article; hotels, restaurants and tour firms are dropped. The town’s 2021 outline and 5 km around it set the reach.
Places to visit: Canada publishes no open tourism list, so this one is assembled from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), Wikidata (CC0), Statistics Canada’s ODCAF museums and galleries (2020, Open Government Licence – Canada), the federal and Québec heritage registers and CPCAD’s national parks, and it reflects what mappers and editors have recorded. Forts, houses, lighthouses and churches count only with a sign that visitors are welcome. Places sit in each town’s 2021 census outline; visitor counts are Wikidata’s latest, with their year.
