There’s a Canadian celebrity street naming contest in a new development in Dundalk that so far has ‘Ryan Reynolds Run’ in the lead.
RealAlt® Investments is asking Canadians to weigh in on the naming honours for a central street in a new 800 – home community called Edgewood Greens.
The plan is to name a central street after a well-known Canadian.
RealAlt®, which is a division of Dorr Capital Corporation, surveyed 1,000 Canadians asking ‘what would you choose to name a street in a 800-unit Canadian community’ to develop a short list.
