Brintnell
Brintnell is a newer northeast Edmonton neighbourhood that developed primarily through the late 2000s and 2010s north of 167 Avenue, taking its name from a prominent Edmonton aviation pioneer — Wilfrid Reid "Wop" May's associate and fellow early aviator Leigh Brintnell, whose contributions to Canadian bush aviation made him a significant figure in Edmonton's aviation heritage. The aviation naming tradition of the northeast runs deep, and Brintnell has established itself as a growing family community in the northeast's current growth corridor.
