How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • 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.
  • Map points. Pins for federal places come from Wikidata rather than Parks Canada, which gives no points.
  • The grade. This page gives no grade; history doesn’t count toward a Canadian town’s letter.
  • 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 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 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.
  • Protection. A place classified or cited under Québec’s law is protected; National Historic Site status alone protects only what the federal government owns.
