Who is the most famous person from Saint-Clet?
Augustin Bourbonnais (Canadian politician) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Avila-Gonzague Bourbonnais and Avila Farand.
How many famous people were born in Saint-Clet?
Wikidata counts 6 born here, but only those an article confirms are listed.
What is Saint-Clet known for?
Across Canadian towns the figure is 22%; here, 100%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Saint-Clet?
Augustin Bourbonnais, from 1850; the most recent birth on the list is from 1910.
Who counts as from Saint-Clet?
A birth counts when Wikidata puts it inside Saint-Clet’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), 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.
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.
