How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

The tiers. Tiers follow the designation: national recognition and classement first, other federal designations next, provincial and local listings last.
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.
Protection. National historic designation honours a place but binds only federal owners; a private building’s protection depends on its province or municipality.
Provincial and municipal lists. Outside Québec, provinces’ and municipalities’ heritage registers aren’t open data; their places are known only through Wikidata items with a register number, and only those with an encyclopedia article get a page.
The grade. There is no history grade: the page sets out the record and compares it with other towns.
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.
