Questions about famous people from Morinville
Who is the most famous person from Morinville?
The top name is Randy Boissonnault (Canadian politician), going by Wikipedia coverage. Next come Jason Holland and Bryce Van Brabant.
What is Morinville known for?
50% here, set against 22% for Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Morinville?
Lionel Tellier, from 1905; the most recent birth on the list is from 1991.
Who counts as from Morinville?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside Morinville’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), counting its hospitals and districts, and an English or French Wikipedia article has to say the same. Adult performers, people known mostly for crimes and anyone who only lived here stay off the list.
Why is someone missing?
Often Wikidata names only Canada or a province as the birthplace, or a rural area, a hamlet or another town; sometimes the Wikipedia article names somewhere else, or nowhere. A person appears here once both agree, so a correction on either site reaches this page at the next refresh.
Birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations and the count of Wikipedia and sister-site articles come from Wikidata (CC0). Each birthplace is checked against the person’s English Wikipedia article, or the French one where English says nothing or has no article; the articles are linked, never quoted. Wikidata’s Statistics Canada code, the place’s name or its point inside the 2021 census outline puts a birth in a town, and a birth given only as a split city stays on that city’s page. Fields are read from the description and occupations, and the list runs by number of articles. “The usual town” is everyone listed across Canadian towns.
