The Quebec Commission de toponymie is dedicated to managing and promoting the geographical names of Quebec, ensuring their proper use and adherence to linguistic standards. It publishes various documents and policies addressing toponymic practices, municipal naming, and the preservation of indigenous names.
The Commission also oversees the official recognition and classification of place names, including recent updates and changes to local geographic designations. A notable highlight is its role in maintaining the cultural heritage of sites like the Historic District of Old Quebec, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its outstanding colonial architecture and historical significance.
