My aunt, Sister Annata Brockman, of Edmonton Alberta Canada will bear the honour of having an elementary/middle/junior high school named after her, by the Edmonton Catholic School Board. 

Announced May 19, 2008 the Edmonton Catholic School Board is celebrating her 21 years of service that she gave to the city's schools and school children. She was principal of St Mark, St Dominic and St Andrew Schools, specializing in elementary and middle school grades. She was also the last religious school principal in the district. 

After retiring from teaching, Sister Annata worked as a pastoral associate at St Joseph's Basilica handling everything from coordinating RCIA to religious education and sacramental programs. She was the chief coordinator for Wayne Gretzky's wedding to Janet Jones which was held at the Basilica in 1988. That wedding was the Canadian equivalent of the Royal Wedding (Prince Charles and Lady Dianna) because of Wayne's stature as the leading hockey player of the century. In fact, the CBC called it 'Hockey's royal wedding.'

The yet-to-be-built school (planned to open in 2010) will be situated in The Hamptons in West Edmonton area and have a capacity of 500 kindergarten to grade 9 students.
