Questions about famous people from Two Hills
Who is the most famous person from Two Hills?
Brad Werenka (Canadian ice hockey defenceman) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Dave Hanson and Louise Bernice Halfe.
How many famous people were born in Two Hills?
Of the 6 Wikidata puts here, the rest have no English or French article that confirms it.
What is Two Hills known for?
Across Canadian towns the figure is 22%; here, 60%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Two Hills?
Bert Hohol, from 1922; the most recent birth on the list is from 1969.
Who counts as from Two Hills?
Two sources must agree: Wikidata, placing the birth inside Two Hills’ municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision) or one of its hospitals or districts, and the person’s English or French Wikipedia article. Moving here later is not enough, and adult performers and people known chiefly for crimes are not listed.
Why is someone missing?
Their Wikidata record may stop at the province, point to a rural area we have no page for, or name a different town, and their article may disagree or say nothing. Only a birthplace both sources share is listed; edits to either are picked up 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.
