How is this list made?
A single list is built from OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, ODCAF and the heritage registers, each site counted once. To appear, a historic building must show it takes visitors (hours, a fee, a website, a heritage operator, a Wikipedia article), and hotels, restaurants and tour operators are left out. Places in the town’s 2021 outline, or within 5 km of its edge, are the ones shown.
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.
