How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
•
People and events. National historic persons carry no place in the open file. They appear on a town’s page when born there (same name, same birth and death years) or when a historic place inside it carries their name and its record names them with their dates; national historic events don’t appear.
•
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. The federal list is complete and open: Parks Canada’s directory for the designations, the Canadian Register of Historic Places for what each one is and why it matters.
•
The grade. There is no history grade: the page sets out the record and compares it with other towns.
•
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.
•
The tiers. Tiers follow the designation: national recognition and classement first, other federal designations next, provincial and local listings last.
