Getting a random location in Canada

The tool starts on In a country: Canada. Each spin lands on a Canadian city or town of 5,000 people or more, from a list of 665 across the 10 provinces and 3 territories.

To stay in one province, switch to In a state and pick it, such as Manitoba or Nova Scotia. Canada stays picked.

Quebec and Ontario come up most

Every town has the same chance, so the provinces with the most towns come up most. Quebec has 196 towns in the list and Ontario 188. British Columbia has 94 and Prince Edward Island 5.

In the territories, the list holds Whitehorse, Yellowknife and Iqaluit. With In a state on Any state, each of the 13 provinces and territories has the same chance, so the North comes up as often as Ontario.

Random Canadian places in bulk

Set "How many places?" to any number up to 500. One spin lists Canadian towns with their province and coordinates and pins each one on the map.

Copy the list or save it as CSV, GeoJSON or plain text for a mapping project or sample data for an app.

Ideas for a random place in Canada
