2. Obtain consent
If the suggested name is in honour of an individual, event, or an organization, written documentation must be included providing consent from the nominee, or the nominee’s family or estate if the individual is deceased, or the named party’s representative. Include the name, signature and contact information for the nominee or named party.

What's next?
All names will be reviewed pursuant to the street naming policies of the Town of Georgina and York Region, to ensure there is no duplication, whether it sounds similar to existing or approved street names, is difficult to spell, or difficult to pronounce in an emergency situation.
Please note that there will be no monetary or other form of compensation nor recognition provided for suggested names.
Street naming is a Council approved process and is part of the subdivision approval of a development.
Special application can be made to recognize a person who has contributed to the history of Georgina or you feel should be honoured because of a deed. Your submissions are welcome.
Requests are considered by the Planning Division. Email for more information.
