Who is the most famous person from Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon?
Gabriel Fontaine (Canadian politician) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come Alban Garon.
How many famous people were born in Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon?

What is Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon known for?
They make up 100% here, compared with 22% across Canadian towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon?
Alban Garon, born in 1930. The youngest on the list was born in 1940.
Who counts as from Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon’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?
The likeliest reasons: a birthplace recorded only as a province or as Canada, a hamlet or rural area with no page of its own, or an article that gives another place or none. Fixing Wikidata or Wikipedia brings them onto the list at the next refresh, as long as the two then agree.
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.
