Who is the most famous person from Sainte-Hénédine?
Alfred Morisset (Canadian physician and politician) comes first, by the number of Wikipedia languages that cover them. Next come Jean-Baptiste Morin and Gaëtane Breton.
How many famous people were born in Sainte-Hénédine?

What is Sainte-Hénédine known for?
33% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 5%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Sainte-Hénédine?
Jean-Baptiste Morin, born in 1840. The youngest on the list was born in 1951.
Who counts as from Sainte-Hénédine?
Wikidata has to place the birth inside Sainte-Hénédine’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?
Often Wikidata names only Canada or a province as the birthplace, or a rural area, a hamlet or another town; sometimes the Wikipedia article names somewhere else, or nowhere. A person appears here once both agree, so a correction on either site reaches this page 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.
