Which cities are on this map
The map has 45 cities, chosen by a fixed rule rather than by taste: all 41 census metropolitan areas from Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census, plus the four capitals that are not metropolitan areas (Charlottetown, Whitehorse, Yellowknife and Iqaluit). That covers Ottawa and every provincial and territorial capital.
A census metropolitan area is a city together with the communities around it, so “Toronto” here includes places such as Mississauga and Brampton, and a few entries carry the paired names Statistics Canada uses, like Kitchener–Cambridge–Waterloo.
Your percentage is a share of these 45 cities. Canada has thousands of other cities, towns and villages that are not on the list, so this is not a measure of how much of the country you have seen.
City progress is separate from the provinces you have marked: nothing here marks a province unless you choose to add a suggested one. The cities you mark do count toward each province’s percentage of places on the Canada map, where the same 45 cities are listed.

Questions about this map
Why is my town not on the map?
To keep the list fair, the map uses Statistics Canada’s census metropolitan areas, which have at least 100,000 residents, plus the capitals. If your town is part of a larger metropolitan area it is included under that name: search for it in the list and you may find it.
The cities in southern Ontario overlap. How do I pick one?
Zoom in with the plus button or a pinch and the dots separate, or use the list, which is grouped by region and searchable. Typing “Niagara” finds St. Catharines–Niagara.
Are neighbourhoods or districts inside a city available?
Not yet. Neighbourhood maps need reliable, openly licensed boundary data for each city, and we will only publish one when that data checks out. It is listed as coming soon on the maps page.
