What's done here is that the relation holds the overarching name (ex: Highway 7), the way itself is given that name if it's signed as Highway 7, but if the road is signed as something else it's named using that name (ex: Huron Road) and sometimes has the highway name in brackets (ex: Line 34 (Highway 8)). You can see all 3 types in and around Stratford for Highway 8: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/43.3703/-80.9809" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/43.3703/-80.9809</a>.

It follows Range Road 235 (or Range Road 23-5) and is signed locally as such, but addresses (in the smaller blue signs like the one in the photo) use Highway 21. In Red Deer County, both street signs and addresses use Highway 21. Such mismatches with local signage and addresses are not uncommon, and the situation can vary from one municipality to another, but it seems while the house numbers will follow the Dominion system (the first digits usually indicating the range or township under the system), if the property is accessible from a highway, the road name on the address will be the highway number unless it's on a service road (which usually inherits the range/township road number, being a realignment of the original since an upgrade of a local road to highway will come with limiting direct accesses). Some (rural) municipalities would locally name highways with range/township road numbers, but others would just post them as "Highway X". </span><br></div><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(49,49,49);word-spacing:1px"><span style="font-size:1rem">Even complex are highways that do get three names: Highway X, a range/township road number, and a special name.</span></div></div></div></div>
