Starting in the fall 2008, a number of street signs across Toronto were unveiled that pay tribute to fallen soldiers from Toronto. These street signs have a poppy incorporated into their design. On November 4, a ceremony in Scarborough marked the unveiling of the first two of these signs.

• Oates Drive - Trooper Raymond J. Oates



• Seminoff Street - Sapper Edward and Sapper Leonard Seminoff

Raymond J. Oates was a Trooper who served in the Elgin Regiment of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, "A" Squadron, 25th Armoured Delivery Regiment during the Second World War. He was killed on September 12, 1944, at the age of 22, as Canadians broke through the German Gothic Line defence in northern Italy. This event was one of the Canadian Army's finest moments of the Second World War.

Edward Seminoff was a Sapper with the Royal Canadian Engineers in the Second World War. He was killed on October 16, 1944, at the age of 24, during a battle in Italy. The previous day, the Canadians had taken Campobasso, Italy, and the advance continued across the Biferno River in a series of brief but bloody battles.

Leonard Seminoff, brother of Edward, was also a Sapper with the Royal Canadian Engineers in the Second World War. He was killed on May 26, 1944, just 26 years old, during the breaching of the 'Adolph Hitler Line' which paved the way to Rome.
