How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The tiers. The highest designations are National Historic Sites, Classified Federal Heritage Buildings and Québec’s classements; then come the other federal designations; then provincial and local listings.
- Protection. A place classified or cited under Québec’s law is protected; National Historic Site status alone protects only what the federal government owns.
- The grade. This page gives no grade; history doesn’t count toward a Canadian town’s letter.
- Québec’s register. Québec is the one province whose register is open: classements, declarations and municipal citations, described by the ministry in French.
- The federal register. The federal list is complete and open: Parks Canada’s directory for the designations, the Canadian Register of Historic Places for what each one is and why it matters.
- Map points. Federal places get their map points from Wikidata, since Parks Canada’s files carry none; they are as mapped there.
- People and events. National historic persons carry no place in the open file. They appear on a town’s page when born there (same name, same birth and death years) or when a historic place inside it carries their name and its record names them with their dates; national historic events don’t appear.
