During Toronto s fragile winters, the thin film of snow in a certain park melts in a distinctive way that reveals what s going on underground.
Garrison Creek used to run through what s now the western area of the city, and in Christie Pits, it has been buried underground as the Garrison Creek Sewer.

A collection of architectural ruins, known as the Dufferin Grove Stones at the western edge of Dufferin Grove Park, come with a long history.
Normally Dufferin Grove Park is a hotspot with a thriving farmer s market (now online), skatepark and wood oven.
Many people may miss the stones on the edge of the park in the summer months, the stones are part of a garden surrounded by greenery, and in winter they lay bare.
