Welcome to the Canadian project page for OpenHistoricalMap!
Sporadic mapping has been done across the country, but are generally focused on either railways, highways, or municipalities. For more details, visit the project pages of each province. If a page is not created yet, it is likely that not much have been mapped there yet.
No matter your experience, every contribution counts towards making a better map!
