How is this list made?
Museums, galleries, national historic sites, forts, lighthouses, gardens, national parks, waterfalls, ski hills, zoos and theme parks from OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, ODCAF and the heritage registers are merged into one list. A historic building needs a sign it welcomes visitors (opening hours, a fee, a website, a heritage operator or a Wikipedia article); hotels, restaurants and tour operators are left out. Each place is put in the town’s 2021 outline or within 5 km of its 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.
