  1. There were the Famous Five women or the Valiant Five women who who, in 1927 asked the Supreme Court of Canada to answer the question, "Are women persons?"  They were all from Alberta:

    Emily Murphy (the British Empire's first female judge);

    Irene Marryat Parlby (farm women's leader, activist and first female Cabinet minister in Alberta);

    Nellie Mooney McClung (a famous suffragist and member of the Alberta legislature);

    Louise Crummy McKinney (the first woman elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, or any legislature in Canada or the British Empire); and

    Henrietta Muir Edwards (an advocate for working women and a founding member of the Victorian Order of Nurses).


  2. Gretzky isn't from Edmonton.  He's from Brantford, Ontario.  He played hockey in Edmonton.  Recording artists KD Lang and Jann Arden are both Albertans.

  3. Ummm only the greatest hockey player of all time...just kidding, I know nothing about hockey, but I do know that Wayne Gretzky is from Edmonton Alberta.
