How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

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 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.
Québec’s register. Québec is the one province whose register is open: classements, declarations and municipal citations, described by the ministry in 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.
The grade. This page gives no grade; history doesn’t count toward a Canadian town’s letter.
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.
