How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Protection. A place classified or cited under Québec’s law is protected; National Historic Site status alone protects only what the federal government owns.
- Map points. Parks Canada publishes no coordinates, so federal places are pinned where Wikidata puts them.
- The grade. This page gives no grade; history doesn’t count toward a Canadian town’s letter.
- People and events. Persons of national historic significance come with no location; a town gets one only by birthplace (name and both life years agreeing) or by one of its own places that bears the name and whose record tells the story. Events, which can’t be tied, are left out.
- Québec’s register. Québec’s Répertoire du patrimoine culturel records the province’s classements and declarations and every municipal citation, each with a description and a point.
- The federal register. Federal places come from Parks Canada’s directory, which counts National Historic Sites, federal heritage buildings, stations and lighthouses; their statements are the register’s own.
- 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.
