I can't comment about Canadian English, but "St" in a placename in
British English is perfectly OK - St Albans is correct; "Saint Albans"
is not.
Not that this has any relevant to Canadian placenames of course
(especially those with a French derivation - "Saint-Denis" is of course
correct there).
Best Regards,
Andy
