  Garrison Creek
Garrison Creek got its name because, when Toronto was young, it entered Lake Ontario just east of Fort York, the military garrison for the region.
Garrison Creek is divided into four reaches in this account: The Humewood Reach from the source near Vaughn Rd. to Davenport Rd. and the Iroquois Escarpment; The Christie Reach from there to Harbord Street; The Trinity Reach from Harbord Street to Queen St.
New interest in Garrison Creek arose in the 1980's and 1990's when it became clear that the combined storm and sanitary sewers that had been constructed, beginning in the late 1800's, were too small to properly service modern development.
