Ravenhurst Street is named partly in honour of Sergeant Leslie E. Hurst. He enlisted and served overseas with the Canadian Army. Hurst was killed in action during the Dieppe Raid on 19 August 1942 at 27 years of age. Hurst Lake in Manitoba was named in commemoration of Sergeant Leslie E. Hurst in 1963.
The Transcona Museum currently does not have information on “Raven” who the street is also named in commemoration of.
