"Resolved that the 4 new streets off My Lady's Road be named Canada Street, Richardson Street, Ravenhill Street and Toronto Street" (5th May 1880). "Many streets were named after leading figures of the day — Kitchener, Methuen, Carrington, Disraeli, Moltke, Balfour, Elgin, Haig. Others reflected the Empire’s expansion — Canada, Montreal, Hudson. Of course there was an Empire Street, and nobody believed Klondyke Street was paved with gold". "Strange sounding names from Far Away Places" by Michael McRitchie in Belfast News-Letter - Tuesday 14 May 1974.
