They mess up the small-town names more often than we realize. Tornado and severe storm warnings for the village of Rockyford (an hour east of the city) have, for years, been issued for "Rockyland" (good thing residents are aware of this), and the village of Hussar (pronounced huh-ZAR) is always pronounced as "HUSS-er". Again, good thing they know that Environment Canada means their town or they'd miss out on all of their warnings.
