Abstract
This brief article identifies the federal and provincial organizations in Canada responsible for
authorizing official place names (toponyms). Included are suggested resources relevant for
locating both official and historical Canadian place names. A search for Kenow Mountain, British
Columbia is used to illustrate the challenges encountered when attempting to determine naming
origins.
