Questions about famous people from G-Section (bramalea)
Who is the most famous person from G-Section (bramalea)?
Andrew Cassels (Canadian ice hockey player) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Chris Felix and Mike Weaver.

Who is the earliest-born famous person from G-Section (bramalea)?
Jason Collett, from 1953; the most recent birth on the list is from 1978.
Who counts as from G-Section (bramalea)?
A birth counts when Wikidata puts it inside G-Section (bramalea)’s neighbourhood outline (the census tracts it is drawn from), a hospital or district there included, and the person’s English or French Wikipedia article agrees. Those who only moved here are not on the list, and neither are adult performers or people famous mainly for crimes. A neighbourhood page lists only births recorded in that neighbourhood; someone recorded as born just “in Toronto”, “in Montréal” or another split city stays on the city’s page.
Why is someone missing?
Wikidata may give their birthplace only as Canada or a province, as a rural area or hamlet without a page here, or as another town; or their article may name a different place, or none. Only people both sources agree on are listed, and a fix on Wikidata or Wikipedia shows up here 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.
