How is this list made?

The list joins OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, ODCAF and the heritage registers, one entry per site: museums, galleries, historic sites, forts, lighthouses, gardens, parks, waterfalls, ski hills, zoos and theme parks. Forts, houses and churches need something that shows they welcome visitors, and hotels, restaurants and tours are never included. What lies inside the town’s 2021 outline, or within 5 km of it, is listed.

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.
