Notes

1. Hamilton (1978, p. 291) identifies the elder Vaudreuil as the town's namesake.
2. Previously, there was also a street named when Dorchester Boulevard. The square received its name when the street was renamed Boulevard René-Lévesque.^[36]
3. The town takes its name from the old Drummond Parish, which was named for the Governor General.^[41]
4. The identity of this town's namesake is disputed. Carolyn Harris, in The Canadian Encyclopedia, identifies the Governor General as the namesake.^[80] Hamilton (1978, pp. 183–184), however, suggests that the namesake is his ancestor, the 2nd Marquess.
5. The identity of this mountain's namesake is disputed. Carolyn Harris, in The Canadian Encyclopedia, identifies the Governor General as the peak's namesake.^[82] The official database for geographical names in British Columbia, however, identifies Stanley H. Mitchell, an official of the Alpine Club of Canada, as the mountain's namesake.^[83]
6. The identity of this town's namesake is disputed. Carolyn Harris, in The Canadian Encyclopedia, identifies the Governor General as the town's namesake.^[82] Hamilton (1978, p. 102), however, identifies his father, who was the British Prime Minister, as the town's namesake.
