How is this list made?
One list is built from OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, ODCAF and the heritage registers: museums, galleries, national historic sites, forts, lighthouses, gardens, national parks, waterfalls, ski hills, zoos and theme parks. Historic buildings need a visitor sign such as opening hours, a fee, a website, a heritage operator or a Wikipedia article, and hotels, restaurants and tour operators never count. A place belongs to the town when it lies inside its 2021 outline or within 5 km of the edge.
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.
