How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
•
Protection. In Québec, a classement or a municipal citation under the Loi sur le patrimoine culturel protects the building in law; a federal designation recognises significance and binds only federal owners.
•
People and events. The open directory puts its national historic persons nowhere, so a town shows one only on firm ground: a birth there, matched by name and life years, or a historic place there named for the person whose record says so. Events are left out.
•
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. Parks Canada’s Directory of Federal Heritage Designations lists every National Historic Site, federal heritage building, heritage railway station and lighthouse; the Canadian Register of Historic Places adds their statements in English and French.
•
The tiers. Tiers follow the designation: national recognition and classement first, other federal designations next, provincial and local listings last.
•
Map points. Federal places get their map points from Wikidata, since Parks Canada’s files carry none; they are as mapped there.
•
The grade. There is no history grade: the page sets out the record and compares it with other towns.
