Street names

---

When mail service was extended from Ottawa into some areas south of the CPR tracks in 1942, the Canadian Post Office Department required that streets with conflicting names be re-named.  Consequently, wartime patriotism showed in the new names, Main became Churchill, Victoria became Roosevelt and Tweedsmuir was also named. However, the Post Office refused to deliver north of the tracks until sometime later than 1947. (page 238, The City Beyond)
