Canadian Avenue was called Berlin Avenue from about 1879. It was changed, for obvious reasons, in 1917. The choice of Canadian Avenue was apparently because of the the Canadian troops billeted in the area.

In Sydenham both Hanover Street (now Halifaxt Street) and Hamburgh Place (now Suncroft Place) were renamed at about the same time.
