Where ancient rivers flow under Canadian cities


In cities like Toronto, waterways were diverted, culverted, bricked over and generally forgotten. Today, the rivers flow in darkness through pipes and concrete channels but unexpected curves in the road, a stray patch of cattails, a line of willows, a grassy ditch all hint at streams that once snaked through the city.

    Water flows downhill into low spots that become marches at the level of a river/lake/ocean. These are perfect spots to build docks which lead to towns/cities that must deal with insects and garbage. Fill it in.
    A large section of Boston is called the Back Bay for reason.
