January 1, 1970

The south end of Churchill Avenue in Ottawa was the site of the Churchill Arms Motor Hotel, easily recognised by its three storey exterior painting of the silhouette of Winston Churchill; it sadly closed its doors in 1986.

As well as the ten schools in Canada, and the main city square in Edmonton, being named after Churchill, Edmonton’s railway (LRT) system has a Churchill stop! And, among all those streets named after him, the street formerly known as Main Street in Ottawa was renamed Churchill Avenue after the Second World War. In St. Albert, Sir Winston Churchill Avenue runs east to west through the city. Winston Churchill Boulevard in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada is also named in his honour.
