WHAT: Human River’s Urban Water Cycle
\nWHEN: October 19, 1 pm – 5 pm
\nWHERE: NW corner of St. Clair and Humewood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Human River is a campaign by the Toronto Public Space Committee<\/a> that sets out to remember Garrison Creek, an old waterway that used to run from around St. Clair West to Lake Ontario between Bathurst and Dufferin streets. The creek was formed after the last ice age and was the largest stream between the Humber and Don Valley rivers, but it was buried in the early 1900s after it became polluted from local developments.<\/p>\n

The streets along the Garrison Creek route will indeed become a human river as cyclists clad in blue ride from the creek’s old source at St. Clair to where it passed by Fort York. After the bike parade you can learn more about buried waterways from Toronto’s past as well as check out photography of Toronto’s sewer system by urban explorer Michael Cook.<\/p>\n
