Wood Street was possibly named after Edward Stuart Wood. The City of Kamloops Heritage Commission initiated the Veterans Street Sign project to promote public awareness of the City’s heritage. To honour their Veterans the City of Kamloops added a poppy symbol to the Wood Street street sign in honour of Edward's son Captain Norman Clarke Wood who died while serving with the 17th Battalion in the First World War.
