UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Canada
Canada is home to some 20 UNESCO World Heritage Sites recognized for outstanding universal value. This map highlights 14 notable cultural, natural and mixed sites across the country.
The dataset, search index and coordinates are bundled into the page, so there is no database query and nothing is uploaded on a visit.
How this works
- Static dataset embedded in the site.
- Leaflet renders the interactive map in the browser.
- Search and filtering happen client-side.
- No application database is required for a page view.
Frequently asked questions
How many UNESCO World Heritage Sites are on this map?
This map features 14 of Canada's most notable UNESCO World Heritage Sites, with a name, region and map marker for each one. It is a curated sample, not an exhaustive directory.
Does this page upload anything?
No. The full location dataset is bundled with the page and search runs entirely in your browser. The map requests OpenStreetMap tiles to render the geography, nothing more.
Where does the sites data come from?
UNESCO World Heritage Centre. Coordinates are approximate.
Is this a complete or official list of Canada's UNESCO World Heritage Sites?
No — this is a prototype selection, not an exhaustive official database. Treat it as a starting point and re-check official sources before relying on it for planning or research.
