PARKS CANADA. An uninhabited place is a geographical entity (stream, lake, river, fall, island, mountain, plain and so forth) with a precise location but where no one resides. In Canada, the authority for assigning the official names of these entities (except those in the list of names of Pan-Canadian significance) rests with the relevant province or territory; the determination of the form of these toponyms (place names) in the other official language is the responsibility of the Terminology Directorate of the Translation Bureau, Public Works and Government Services Canada. 1, record 1, English, - uninhabited%20place

PARCS CANADA. Un lieu non habité est une entité géographique (ruisseau, lac, rivière, chute, île, montagne, plaine, etc.) ayant une localisation précise mais où personne ne réside.
