OBS

The Geographic Board of Canada was set up in 1897 and was succeeded by the Canadian Board on Geographic Names on August 3, 1948. In 1961, the responsibility of naming places was transferred to the provinces, and the names authority was reorganized as the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names(CPCGN) on July 13, 1961. Since 1979, the authority for naming in Indian reserves, national parks, and military reserves is jointly held by the appropriate federal department and the province concerned. In 1984, the territories in turn assumed responsibility for naming the entities in their own jurisdiction. In March 2000, the national coordinating body for toponymic activities became the Geographical Names Board of Canada(GNBC).

La Commission de géographie du Canada a été créée en 1897; elle a été remplacée par la Commission canadienne des noms géographiques le 3 août 1948. En 1961, la responsabilité de nommer les lieux est transférée aux provinces et, avec cette réorganisation, l'organisme devient, le 13 juillet 1961, le Comité permanent canadien des noms géographiques (CPCNG). À compter de 1979, la responsabilité de désigner les réserves indiennes, les parcs nationaux et les réserves militaires incombe au ministère fédéral responsable et à la province sur le territoire de laquelle l'entité est située. En 1984, les territoires assument à leur tour la responsabilité de nommer les lieux sous leur juridiction. En mars 2000, l'organisme national de coordination des activités toponymiques devient la Commission de toponymie du Canada (CTC).
