History
Garrison Creek was one of a number of small natural watercourses on the site of the current city of Toronto. Starting in the 1880s, the stream was diverted into underground sewers under city streets and the original course was filled in with soil. By 1920, the stream was entirely diverted into the sewer system. There are many artifacts of the Creek's existence, including buried bridges along Harbord Street and Crawford Street south of Dundas Street.
