Quebec
In Quebec, provincial law does not currently distinguish between towns and cities — one designation, ville, covers both types of communities regardless of size, as the French language lacks a widely-used term to distinguish town and cities in general. A ville might be informally referred to as a town or a city in English, but this is an arbitrary and subjective distinction. Quebec does, however, distinguish between villes and municipalités. Quebec law also distinguishes between villes and cités, however this is now moot as there are no longer any cités in existence. See types of municipalities in Quebec.
All municipalities in Quebec which have ville status are listed here, regardless of whether they are considered towns or cities in unofficial usage.
