A prairie city whose distinctive profession, at more than sixty times the global rate, is curler — no other city in the dataset comes close. Winnipeg's bench after that is hockey players at twenty times the global rate, with figure skaters, wrestlers, and songwriters filling out the shelves. Anna Paquin, Louis Riel, Deanna Durbin, Guy Maddin, and Terry Fox all belong to this bench; the 19th-century tail starts with the Métis leadership of the Red River Settlement.
One face per decade — the most globally famous figure born in Winnipeg during each.
