Who’s listed here
This page lists people whose Wikidata birthplace lies inside Scott’s municipal boundary, once their English or French Wikipedia article agrees. Wikidata places 1 person here, but their article doesn’t confirm Scott as the birthplace yet, so nobody is listed.

Who counts as from Scott?
Two sources must agree: Wikidata, placing the birth inside Scott’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision) or one of its hospitals or districts, and the person’s English or French Wikipedia article. Moving here later is not enough, and adult performers and people known chiefly for crimes are not listed.
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.
