How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • The tiers. National Historic Sites and the most protected buildings form the top tier; recognized federal buildings, stations and lighthouses the second; provincial and municipal listings the third.
  • The grade. History isn’t one of Canada’s graded pillars, so this page describes and compares without a letter.
  • Provincial and municipal lists. The local and provincial lists outside Québec aren’t published openly, so this page counts what Wikidata records and pages only the places an encyclopedia describes.
  • Protection. National historic designation honours a place but binds only federal owners; a private building’s protection depends on its province or municipality.
  • People and events. Parks Canada’s open file gives its national historic persons no place. A town’s page names one only when the person was born there (matched by name and both life years) or one of its own historic places carries the name and its record speaks of them; national historic events stay off.
  • Map points. Federal places get their map points from Wikidata, since Parks Canada’s files carry none; they are as mapped there.
  • The federal register. Every federal designation is in Parks Canada’s directory, and the Canadian Register of Historic Places gives most of them a bilingual statement of significance.
