Parts Canada Calgary Address
Is Calgary the only city in Canada that has “street direction” as part of the address?
Calgary, Alberta, Canada has “street direction” as a part of the address. For example, the address “934 2nd Avenue NW” includes the “NW” part, which is intended to show which quadrant of the city the address is in. Are there any other cities in Canada that use this type of system?
To see what I’m talking about, here’s the Canada Post postal-code finder:

Oh yes, I’m curious about which cities use it, too.
To clarify, I’m most interested in which cities, if any, use the quadrant-type street direction (the same kind Calgary has). I used the term “street direction” because it’s the term on the Canada Post website.
I think it’s an Alberta thing because Medicine Hat uses this system as well.
