23 famous people from La Prairie, many of them writers and artists

By our measure the best known is Maxime Fortunus (Canadian ice hockey player); the spotlight above gives the details. Next come Georges Brossard and Martin T. McMahon.

43 are placed here on Wikidata; the rest have no article to confirm it.

35% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 22%.

François Beaucourt, from 1740; the most recent birth on the list is from 1983.

Wikidata has to place the birth inside La Prairie’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.

Some have no birthplace below the province on Wikidata, some were born in a hamlet without a page here, and some have an article that names another place or none at all. The page lists only what Wikidata and Wikipedia agree on, and it follows their corrections at each refresh.
