In Toronto, virtually every street is named. The one exception I can think of is in New Toronto / Long Branch, which has numbered N-S streets running off Lake Shore. However, the numbers are actually spelled out, ranging from "First St" to "Forty Second St". Something similar exists in parts of the Glebe in Ottawa IIRC.

What I always found confusing about Edmonton is that the took street numbering to such an extreme that every branch of a crescent has a different street number:

It doesn't really work too well in subdivisions.
