Questions about famous people from Val-des-Sources
Who is the most famous person from Val-des-Sources?
Julie Lemieux (Canadian actress) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come Jennie Carignan and Gilles Hamel.

31% of the list, where Canadian towns come to 38%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Val-des-Sources?

Who counts as from Val-des-Sources?
What counts is a birth that Wikidata places inside Val-des-Sources’ municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), its hospitals and districts too, and that the person’s English or French Wikipedia article repeats. Adult performers, people known chiefly for crimes and those who only lived here are not on 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.
