Currently reading "Regina: The Queen City" and found this neat story about the naming of Rae, Retallack, Cameron, and Robinson. I'm sure many of you know this story, but I had never heard it and found it quick interesting.

"In October, Scarth had invited a number of prominent people to visit the West in his private car. Included was the famous Arctic explorer, Dr. John Rae, who had already travelled through the Regina area. With a lavish hand, Scarth bestowed local immortality on four of his guests by giving to streets the names of Rae, Retallack, Robinson, and Cameron. Luckily for the future residents of the next street, another friend-Sir Ronald Blennerhassett-did not make the trip!"
