How is this list made?
Museums and galleries, national historic sites and forts, lighthouses, gardens, national parks, waterfalls, ski hills, zoos and theme parks: OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, ODCAF and the heritage registers each add some, merged into one list. A historic building is kept only with a sign of visitors (opening hours, a fee, a website, a heritage operator, a Wikipedia article), never hotels, restaurants or tour firms. The town’s 2021 outline, plus 5 km around it, decides what is listed here.
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.
