Confluence of Bonar Creek and Mimico Creek in 1889.
Bonar Creek was a tributary of Mimico Creek, a watercourse that empties into Lake Ontario in the former city of Mimico, now part of Toronto.[1][2] Bonar Creek joined Mimico Creek 130 m (426.51 ft) north of Lakeshore Boulevard, in the marsh at the mouth of the Mimico Creek.
Almost the entire creek has been buried, except for a short stretch where the former watercourse joined Mimico Creek, and that remaining portion has been canalized.[2] However there are plans to restore part of the wetlands at the confluence of the two creeks.[3]
