Street naming policy

The City of Oshawa Street Naming Policy sets out the guiding principles for naming and renaming streets in Oshawa. The policy outlines the process for adding street names to the street name reserve list, and how street names are assigned to new streets.

Honouring Oshawa’s war dead and war veterans

The City’s War Dead and War Veterans Street Naming Program honours the memory of men and women from Oshawa who served as part of Canada’s military in war or peacekeeping assignments.

The names of more than 90 war dead and war veterans have been used or assigned for use as street names in new subdivisions in the City of Oshawa.

Streets named in recognition of war dead and war veterans feature a poppy logo on the street sign.
