Questions about famous people from Havre-Saint-Pierre
Who is the most famous person from Havre-Saint-Pierre?
The top name is Jean-François Jomphe (Canadian ice hockey player), going by Wikipedia coverage. Next come Lorraine Richard and Roland Jomphe.

They make up 25% here, compared with 38% across Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Havre-Saint-Pierre?
Roland Jomphe, born in 1917. The youngest on the list was born in 1983.
Who counts as from Havre-Saint-Pierre?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside Havre-Saint-Pierre’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?
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.
