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.
  • People and events. Parks Canada’s open file gives its national historic persons no place. A town’s page names one only when the person was born there (matched by name and both life years) or one of its own historic places carries the name and its record speaks of them; national historic events stay off.
  • 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.
  • The grade. This page gives no grade; history doesn’t count toward a Canadian town’s letter.
  • Québec’s register. In Québec the ministry of culture publishes its register openly: provincial classements, declared sites and the municipalities’ citations all appear, with their descriptions.
  • The federal register. Every federal designation is in Parks Canada’s directory, and the Canadian Register of Historic Places gives most of them a bilingual statement of significance.
